<sigh> I was already two months late planting the ranunculus. I don't
know if they'll have time to grow, flower, and regain strength for next
year.

How long should I wait before assuming that the seed is lost and
re-plant? I suppose that's really more dependant upon the weather than
the calendar.

Thanks to both of you.
