Yeah, I hear ya.

It’s an odd place, and the weather is rather cruel to a lot of plants. Although, I’ve learned over the years that you can have a very rich, lush garden full of veggies and flowers with the proper care. It just takes a little more planning and maintenance than places in the Willamette Valley, and other milder climates in Oregon.

Once spring arrives I'll post some pictures of my yard so you can see.
