Hello from Seattle. Which is certainly why I talk about rain. Up until now I have been a windowsill gardener, last winter I built a small green house 0.9 x 1.3 meters and put my plants in it. I had amazing performance many plants flowered for me, with no loss. Mamms are a large part of that collection but vary little from the plants locally available. Joining this forum is a wonderful thing. I love to discuss and read posts on topics I enjoy.
