I cannot grow tender things outdoors at all. I do have a cultivar double white dahlia that I took inside last week (it was 3C last night, no frost quite yet). When I move I will try to see if it will grow indoors in an extremely large pot, and I will also dig up some ordinary old-fashioned yellow daffodils to put in the same pot. And all my east windows are filled with these wonderful seedlings that have sprouted from the BXs contributions. Besides that, I already have about a thousand house plants, including 19 hippeastrums. I expect to move to (first) a 2-room apartment in Copenhagen before Christmas, and will have a lot of trouble finding windowsill places for all these plants. But I can tell you, they are all happy! It is quite a lot of fun to be an indoor gardener... Carol
