Have a lot of Italian relatives by marriage, and love the cuisine, but personally, I'm 1/2 German. 1/4 English, 1/4 Irish.

You must be Italian :)

Actually I have a cookbook with hundreds of recipes using native plants.
Can't say I eat them, but interesting reading none the less.

They eat them! In fact, you can get seeds for dandelion cultivars

(more

tasty, I presume!).

the vinca
The day I had my chemo, The Dr. & I talked about plants used in
research
& he said Vinca was one of many they're looking at. God created

these

for
a purpose.

Gene,
Thanks so much for the information.  I love the vinca and it

makes

the spot
under the maple trees where I don't have to mow .  I do use it in
pots
too... and with a blue hosta sounds wonderful.
Thanks again,
Tricia

Hello Tricia,
    Yes, we do move the containers to a protected spot. We have

a

place

behind the garage out of the prevailing winter winds. We make a

"room" of

bales of straw the size we need each early winter, them move

the

pots into

this holding area. Large pots in the middle, the smaller ones

out

near the

bales. Sometimes we stuff leaves in between the containers, but

do

not
cover

the tops. Want them to breathe and not get soggy during the

cold.

I do not

remember loosing anything in this manner that was perennial to

begin with.

    In another month we will get the containers out, begin to

move

them
into

position. Too early to go for the tender perennials and annuals

as

yet. If

your variegated vinca is all that aggressive, why not place it

in

a large

container for trailing with one of the big blue hosta?

Gene,
I am going to try putting my hostas in pots... I have some

wonderful

hostas

but have thought this year the variegated vinca is going to

be

so

aggressive

that I might have to move them.  Do you move the pots to a

more

protected

area during the winter?
