Hello Walter,
The garden I was them growing is was about 25 miles from me. Fern was in
the ground for about 3 years and looking good both years I visited their
garden. Their shade garden was at the lower slope of a hill beneath trees,
my garden in on the side of a hill.. I believe I can provide a bit of
protection from the worse elements that come through here in winter. Well
worth the try as the fern is a beauty, I believe.
No running in and out with the seasons here .... I only have room for a
few orchids in the window near my desk. And that room is already spoken for
by the orchids I have.
