Adventures in Cotton

I got cotton!  I posted the pictures of my plants blooming this summer.  They got pods, but I didn't know if I would have enough time for them to get cotton.

When it got cold, I brought the plants in.  Then they died.  A few days later, the pods started to open.  I got about 20 balls.  Each one has some seeds in them, so I will have plenty to try again, next year.  Who would have ever thought I could grow cotton so far north?
