The Modern Victory Garden

Hi again!

   It's been awhile since I have been able to check in. I like most of you have been doing what I would call the Mother Nature dance. It looks kinda like this...."Should I?"" Oh wait it's to cold AGAIN!" "Now it's to wet" "The sun is out!!!" RUN!  All kidding aside I do have some questions.

 I want to combine CARDINAL vine with BLACK EYED SUSAN vine, in pots to cover an old satelite dish. They have both been started in the house and are BUSTING to get into bigger pots. It's time to get these guys outside.

   # 1 How long do I heed to harden them off? # 2 Can they be grown together? #3 They will get about 5 hrs of sun, is that enough? Anymore wisdom would be great also!

         Thanks...........tiff

Hopefully someone else will answer you too, as I am NOT a flower person and don't have a lot of info/experience to share on that end.   However, I think the plants would do okay with 5 hours of sun if it truly is sun during that time and not partial shade.   On the hardening off, generally about five days of increasing exposure is the minimum I go with - and if it is a really tender type of plant - I insist on a week.
