Re: It's winter garden time

You didn't sound callous Kitty, I'm having a bad week, sorry to sound so
bitchy.  I did plant fast growers but only a couple are evergreen, as I
really don't have space for giants like live oaks, which take a gazillion
years to grow anyway.  I turned my small heater on in the greenhouse and
still covered everything with sheets INSIDE as it's supposed to get down to
27 tonight. I wish I was sitting at Cafe Demonde in New Orleans right now.
