This relates to a discussion I was having with a C-H (non-listmember; says
he's too busy) co-worker today. Has anyone tried reducing the stress of
overwintered plants by acclimating them slowly to the indoor conditions? Maybe
bringing them in for short periods of time to start with, and increasing that
time over a week or so? Unfortunately, an unexpected harsh frost this year
reduced me to the point of having only seeds, and a glint in my eye with the
thought of spring.
