Kathy, when your're ready to do so perhaps we might start a thread around this particular side of gardening. I know there's a special forum for that. What is however in my view the most serious handicap, are the undecided or even those that simply whisk it off their heads. Most are unaware of what they are missing
. Almost all threads relating to dahlias, roses, daylilies, annuals...(and it goes on) contain passages/posts that could be condensed as moan-complain-grieve series
, all related with climate instability. I really am astonished how so very few gardeners that use hoophouse as a work space specially in N.America. It has multiple functions.
