With temps in the 80s this week after a below normal cool Spring, it is time to begin the annual return of our tropicals and tender perennials to their outdoor spots and exuberant lush growth that keep some many of us captivated with an ever widening bevy of these beauties.

Let's chat here about the tricks, tips, questions and rules of thumb of waking up our tropicals!

Some have lived outside in a choice or protected spot. Any signs of life? When do you or are you removing any extra protection?

Have any of you who keep some in 'active' growth as houseplants snuck them out side yet for a little sun or a good washing down? Took them for a little walk?

Those semi dormant ones need in our garages, spare cool rooms or porches, under our houses, whereever need a wake up call of water warmth and light!
