Yesterday, I went through photos of the garden from years past. It was punishing. Climate change has done a number on the backyard. Tropicals that were gorgeous a few years back are now struggling, or gone. I'm rethinking what I continue to fuss over. The oaks managed to snake their way into nearly every pot, in spite of screening over the drainage holes. We now have too much shade to grow some of the tropicals I love.
So what to do? Well, today we're putting up another hoop across the back of the house for the pots that I couldn't cram into the other hoop house along the fence line. I guess I'll just think about getting rid of a few plants when spring gets here.
Amended to . . . we are not putting up anything outside today. It is cold and damp out there!
