leaves do not recover from injury.. so i dont understand how you say it recovered from suncscorch ... if you meant they wilted.. then see next paragraph ... how about a pic of the whole ... id like to see the pots also ... do they get very hot in the sun??? .. did you reuse old media at planting.. or new fresh media.. i suspect a watering issue ... go out at night after dark.. and hunt slugs .. in a pot.. there shouldnt be so many that you cant take care of them ... fry them in butter and garlic.. and call them escargot ...lol ken

Everything is closed here. The grocery stores are closed or out of food. They say there is no bread, milk, eggs and meat. Walmart closed 400+ stores in Texas. The gas stations are mostly out of fuel. Apparently, you have to do some searching to get gasoline. I'm sure my vet stayed home and it's a long way to the emergency vet, even if they are open. But my dogs are staying inside and warm so they will be ok. But, so far I've been really lucky. "Blessed" is the word I used in a text to my cousin yesterday. I've been warm, no broken pipes so far (they are all flowing). I had plenty of food and I didn't need to go anywhere. My dogs still went out to do their business even if it was just to the porch and the deck. We will have a chilly morning tomorrow, but after that it starts to warm up. By Sunday, we should be mostly thawed out. My only unknowns are the car and the outdoor faucets. I was whining about the water bills to come as I've had to leave some faucets running on the really cold nights and my friend said that was cheaper than a plumber is going to be. So, again, I'm blessed. bkay
