thanks! i am moving to middle alabama. i am not sure of the zone. i'll look it up. i guess i can just hope for more cukes and tomatoes before i go. my tomato plants are huge so i knew i couldn't move them. but i've been harvesting those for a couple weeks now. well, thanks for the advice. i'll just look forward to new plants and using what i've learned on a new garden. just a shame these are gonna die. they honestly feel like children kinda to me. as much care as you put into it, feeding, watering, pruning, training to grow a certain way etc...

thanks!
