Nice collection. Do you have to bring them all inside for the winter?

Thanks, actually Sarracenia are a temperate species of cps, which means they have to experience a dormancy period to preform there best. Last year i left all of them outside in the pool, moved them to the center, cut there pitchers off used a fungiacid and filled the pool with pine mulch, with it covering 6+ over the pots too, and all these successfully overwintered in zone 5. Sorry to say my favorite plant S. fledgling did not survive, and some of the smaller vfts did not either, the only things you have to bring inside during the winter are...nepenthes, tropical sudews, mexican butterworts, heliamphora, cephalotus can be treated as a tropical, and few others.

Late summer/early fall outdoor plantings?
Q

Good question! I also am wondering if its time to pull my potted zinnia (I've got about 8 large pots of them). They are still putting out buds but the lower foliage is so beat up at this point they are not very pretty to look at. Same with the petunias in the window box. Still blooming but looking worse for wear. It has been soooo cold and rainy here as well which has not helped. I dont think my balcony saw sun for 3 days! Looking forward to hearing suggestions.

Plenty of sun in summer, shade in late summer and fall
Q

Yes, the lack of sun past August will decrease your fall bloom. Unless your fall flush occurs in August anyway. Here, fall bloom starts in September, from buds that formed at the very end of August at the earliest. I have a friend with roses in the same kind of situation you describe, and she gets no fall blooms. Here there is no such thing as a shade tolerant rose. We do not get enough sun for any rose to do well with less than full sun. You do not say where you are so I can't judge what kind of climate you're in, except northern latitude judging from zone 4! But - a cloudy north, or a sunny north? We're a very cloudy north. You may not be. But go ahead and experiment! All we can do is tell you what we think might happen. We puny humans are often wrong when it comes to guessing what Mother Nature will do.

Making a trip to AZ in late summer/early fall
Q

We are making a dream trip to Arizona in late summer or early fall, we havn't finalized things yet. WE are going to drive the entire way from TN....stopping to see what we want to see on the way, take a zillion pictures, and probably buy a zillion plants LOL. I really would love to meet some fellow gardeners who live in Arizona before we make the trip. Maybe we can set up a trade. I have quite an extensive sedum collection, which would do well in your area. We havn't pinpointed it yet, but we have it narrowed down to most likely Tuscon. We are herpers..my son works with the reptiles at the local zoo, so his main interest in the trip is to see the local reptiles ( which I love to photograph)..

Try Mel at Livingston Nursery Center located on How Lane at the base of the bridge just off Livingston Ave in North Brunswick. Or try the one (can't recall the name!) located on Route 27 under the high tension wires in either North or South Brunswick. Name may have Maple in it!? Going south from New Brunswick it's on the left side.

Do you have an attic with a window? That works well, too.

The fridge works great, my attic gets too cold. I remove the sarrs from the soil, rinse them off hit them with a little fungicide and put them in zip lock bags. Works perfect. 40 degrees F. in the fridge. In Mid February they come out, get repotted and take off!
