Much of gardening is growing things that are not normally grown in 
the environment where we live.  While native plants are excellent 
companions in a garden the limit in bloom and season means that we 
have hybridized plants that extend both the quantity and quality of 
bloom.  Because the conditions we grow them are not normal, and 
because the plants themselves are not normal, the environment has to 
be managed.
My thoughts anyway.
Dave White, just north of Kingston in south eastern Ontario where I 
have managed to get 90 gallons of water from the downspouts in the 
last three days, it's a start.
