Gardening is a challenge here, but I'm sure it is a challenge everywhere. You just have to learn what does well and what doesn't, and every once in awhile you have to remind yourself again! I can grow the sedums that like moisture and don't mind cool temps. We have a short season, but long days, so when it's sunny, they are happy.

Yes, I have two greenhouses. My smallest one has been a mainstay for years. I start up the oil heater by April 1st when I start hauling seedlings from the basement to the greenhouse. Seedlings can't be set out safely until June 1.

Frosty Morn is one of my absolute favorites. Growing next to it is Lychnis arkwrightii 'Vesuvius', and the dark red flowers & foliage are beautiful with Frosty Morn.

Most of my sedum are the short types, except, of course, Autumn Joy, which grows in almost every garden in Seward.
