The botanical babes have gone from sheltered greenhouse growing in the past few years (See: <a href=\"http:\/\/thepitcherplantproject.com\/blog\/2014\/08\/17\/sarracenia-summer-sanctuary-2014\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Summer Sanctuary 2014<\/a>) to the real world of outdoor growing. And now, they get to experience some literally cool stuff.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But wait &#8211; oh WHAT? I thought they&#8217;re tropical plants n&#8217; shit?&#8221; you may be saying to yourself. Nahhh fam, they may look kinda cold and sad and depressed for the moment, but quite honestly they&#8217;re quite tougher than what most folks give them credit for. &gt;&gt;Insert a life metaphorical comment about plant and life parallels here.&lt;&lt; I put together a little video and a few images below for your viewing enjoyment. Oh, don&#8217;t mind the mess in the yard by the way, I still need to level the yard and get tables built. Kinda hard to do that when it&#8217;s a giant mud pit full of black berries&#8230; so for now they&#8217;re just resting in tubs until I figure that out. Glad I could capture these bae-bay&#8217;s first snow days. More snow expected in the forecast here in Portland this week, I&#8217;m sure the plants are looking forward to it. Brrrr! Happy growing all yous wonderfuls peoples out there.
