I just noticed you were growing these Kelly. You must tell me how they do with a shorter season. I love how they look every time I see them in a seed catalogue but I have always hesitated to grow them thinking I wouldn’t have enough time.

Ya, I have a habit of trying to grow things anyway even though I’m in a shorter season. But, I’m starting early, and technically my season is 151 days, so I’m all for seeing if I can get these guys to grow well :D. I’ll definitely keep updating my journal!
