Thanks Kristi. And that saying is one of my favourites "Far better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all". I've lost many times in many ways, but have been left with lots of great memories.
Sandi, I do zone push, but really from the other direction. There's a few things involved. Our temperatures don't drop much, but many plants do depend on a significant drop. Then there's day length. Many plants like long days in their growing season. Here the difference between the longest and shortest days is around an hour. And whilst we have high humidity for most of the year, during the dry season (winter) it can get very low during the day with high temperatures. It's quite a juggling act to try and work around all the different factors involved. One slip up and it can be a bit devastating. It hasn't stopped me, but it's affected my direction from time to time. Guess I'd be bored without the challenge though.
