I have never ever before transplanted outside in the middle of winter. But I did last week. There are four nicotiana still green in the pathetic planting bed at the end of the backyard, and I took the two raggedy slug-eaten ones out of pots on the porch, put them in the ground.
It's been a week and they're doing fine!
In their place I dug up a handful of mock strawberry from a muddy spot near the compost bin, and put these in the pots on the front porch. Need something green. I do like their leaves and would like them close to be admired...
My husband keeps asking me if the nicotiana are weeds, every time he walks by them he feels prompted to pull them out. I guess the flat growing habit and broad, unimpressive leaves look rather like some weeds.
