    Slinky, if you are going to replant them staight away I don`t see a problem. If you are not, then I would suggest you pot them up for now. Whatever you do, give them a good watering tonight.:thumb:

    Slinky, there`s a saying in gardening. "Plants either do or they don`t". There`s no point worrying.:D:thumb:
