@hearlady I've thought about it, but the problem is getting there.
@hollydolly Teach it? LOL Most of what I've learned is by the seat-of-the-pants method. Imagine what a weedy, overgrown nightmare it was when I was still working.
@MarkD We're not exactly in the tropics here, but I keep trying to grow plants that thrive in Florida and have even had a little success with some that Monty Don says like the cool side of sea air in the UK. I've watched some of his shows, and he and the participants are all bundled up in July wandering around their gardens explaining how they keep their plants cool
I've got a little greenhouse that I've been meaning to put together for a couple of years now, but never have had the time. Maybe it'll get done this fall/winter. Then I'll have a place to overwinter some of the ones that are annuals here but perennials in Florida. Replacing them every year is pretty pricey!
