I figure I have nothing to lose, so I might as well keep going. I am contemplating bringing some inside if they do not improve, to finish flowering them. I will have to dig them up and not kill them, so I know what you are going through.

Peace

same thing here jangel, you either have the "luck" to sit in a dry spot with not much rain at all (back in the Alberta i was more troubled about too little water then too much and sure feared an early winter). What i learned in the reason years is that a simple cover made from spats and some foil will take care of the rain problem for a few plants in the yard just fine. with you 25 plants that all not too tiny, from what i have seen last time in your outdoor thread, you might be better of to build a foil tunnel. those things can be bought prebuild at UFA, at least they used to have em, or be homemade from PVC pipes used for instaltion (1" dia.) and if take care it should be usable for several years. and those tunnels can function like a green house if the ends are closed off.

Or you go full scale and build a simple green house as this one
but maybe a tiny bit smaller that it doesn't get too much attention

that solves the weather problem just as well as winter problem as in the green house it stays longer warm, even if it getting chill out there.

hope you can use something of these solutions to solve your problem Jangel there been also a greenhouse thread in the outdoor section posted by Shaman that hold various forms of greenhouse designs that all work. And a tip, start always with the roof construction and till the foil isn't on the roof you won't need to put up the side walls
