This past spring I had them downstairs, under lights, then Jack brought them upstairs and we put them on the outdoor table. Many had sprouted and one already had a flower, Kasasagi. I just covered them with a tarp at night so I did without the thrill of hardening off. Attached is Kasasagi as I was about to plant it.

Years ago I had them downstairs, but not on the floor. They were on a craft table, about 10' from any outdoor light and yet they began to grow anyhow. They must have an inner clock.

It's now snowing in Chicago. Get your golden shovel ready, Dan.

It's 61 degrees here but snow expected on Wednesday.
