i will give them dormancy. however, right now, in new jersey, we are having a hurracan and that means i have to buckle them up and give them sun. the wind will be 80 mph. so they would get ripped to shreds outside

Well I'm about 100 miles north of you most likely and we're waiting on Irene too. Your traps will be fine without Sun for a few days. By Sunday evening it's supposed to clear up anyway. Stay safe!

She's gone up here now but high winds still raising hell. It was bad enough. We got over 6 inches of rain, about 90,000 in my county are without power, I never lost power though. Got lucky. Lots of flash flooding around but We're good at my place. Plants all made it through, I moved them to more protected areas.

Slept like a baby last night through most of it! LOL!
