>YAQUINA BLUE does very well here in cold country...
Not true here in the northern plains where snow cover is inconsistent
during the frigid months. YB lasted one year in my garden and bloomed
during that first growing season with a grotesquely oversized (but
beautifully colored) bloom on a 4" stalk.

We get heat (90 degrees for the past two days!) and humidity and vast
swarms of stinging bugs ... and dangerously frigid temps with or without
snow in the winter. Hmm. What on EARTH am I doing here??? LOL!

We flirted with near freezing temps last week and will be again very
soon, no doubt. Might be time to pot up a few herbs for the winter.
