Re: [SG] dry shade Cold Hardy

Thank you for the poetry, Claire. The writer may have not met me
personally, but he sure had me pegged. Tony Avant is big on killing
something personally 3 times before giving up. Uses that one in his talks
and catalog.
        Gardening is a good place to bring out parts of one's self that is risky
in real life. If one is a bit less than assertive in personality, then the
garden is a good place to find that side of ones personality. Along with
finding ones' soul, spiritual peace and harmony with the world one lives
in. No wonder so many poets garden... or vice versa.
