Hi Milo! I lived near Portland Maine for a winter - and MAN! I don't know how you and all the poor plants and critters can survive that freezing weather.

Why not come out to Portland (that's OREGON, son!)
for a visit? The Pacific NW is an incredibly verdant
place with lush colorful gardens -
blooming 12 months a year -
even tho we have 4 seasons.

Don't try to do Seattle or Vancouver in the same trip -
as the Portland area can keep you happy for a LOOOOOG time, rain or shine.

For others who peek in at this thread - MAY 1 is another Plant SWAP at Pistils nursey. Same general info...and when you are in the Mississippi Ave neighborhood - look in the alley behind their fence - they set out freebie plants for others now and then. Often they are just dormant - but not pretty enuf to look saleable. Not all is labeled - so be cautious how you plant any mystery plants - and control seed or spread - Just In Case. Generally, quality nurseries like this only stock highly desirable non-invasive plants. But I picked up a pot that I think is HOPS - in the freebie alley spot - and will plant it to control possible enthusiastic root spread and 15' high climbing tendrils. (I'm hoping it shades my sunroom - from a big pot)

Milo - free micro-brew and Classical Chinese Garden tour if you come out here by September! Bargain flights Boston (or from East Grenwich) to PDX - have done it many times.
