I thought that was what cold hardy meant, but I have learned differently this winter. I love my gingers and other tropicals that do disappear in cold weather but I'm trying to have them as accents rather than my whole garden. And yes, what would I do if the garden ever became complete?NanaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425496284594894548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364167854783221638.post-86393059091951528292010-03-13T22:53:17.332-05:002010-03-13T22:53:17.332-05:00NanaK,

Technically I guess all the plants that come back even when damaged are cold hardy. I just want more plants that don't die back to the ground in the interim. <br /><br />It's a lot more fun to do our projects a little at a time.

At least the working outside part of the dream. On my end, the buying new shrubs part may have to wait for a little while.

Boo. But, as you said, it forces a plan which is always a good idea. At any rate, I love your post as we're all looking for some cold hardy varieties after this winter.
