GARDENERS KNOW ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE

 48 years ago when I moved to Oregon, I went to the local nursery in search of Agapanthas. the nurseryman looked at me like I had two heads. He'd never heard of 'em.  

 So I went to a local garden center. "We can't grow those here in our zone," I was told. That was correct then. My mom brought me up some from California and they froze that winter and never reappeared in the spring.   

Today? I routinely grow 'em in pots and in the ground. All the nurseries here in Southern Oregon stock them as "no fuss" landscape plants!
