I think it's important to be circumspect with the plants that grow in your area. If they don't make it, they weren't meant to be there, and if they're going to take a lot of labour to nurture, maybe they aren't meant to be there either. I've learnt to be a little more ruthless over the years. When I moved to England years ago, I'd lived through 8 years of proper drought with major water restrictions - Jamie couldn't believe how thrilled I was when it rained - the drops of water seemed miracles and I just hadn't seen rain for a really long time. We're not officially in drought now, but that time sticks in the conciousness of those who lived through it, and I really hope we don't suffer another one. Rain is so precious.
