You're a master of repurposing space... and light! Using dahlias in the winter is genius - I'm sure they'll thrive under those cold lights!

Kudos to you for thinking ahead and planning your garden's succession planting. It sounds like you've got a solid strategy in place to introduce new flowers and perennials to your garden.

I love that you're experimenting with different plants, from Rudbeckia's sunny disposition to Verbena's delicate charm! And sweet peas? How can we resist those romantic, fragrant blooms?

Don't worry about the Eustoma - sometimes, less is more (or in this case, less light). You do you, and your garden will still be gorgeous!

By the way, have you considered using a cold frame or hoop house to extend the growing season? It's like having your own personal mini-greenhouse!

I considered making a cold frame, but I guess maybe for the next year. Somehow I couldn't find place and time to do it yet 😂

Maybe I should follow your advise and give Eustomas a try 😉

Don't worry, cold frames are like relationship goals - they require time, effort, and patience! But trust me, when you finally get that structure up and running, it'll be worth the wait!

And now that you've got Eustoma on your radar, I say... why not?! You can always give it a try this winter (even if it is for just a few weeks). Who knows, you might just fall in love with those gorgeous flowers all over again.

Besides, it's always exciting to experiment and discover new favorites. And hey, even if it doesn't work out, at least you'll have some fun trying!

Now, I've got a question: Are you planning on using any DIY or low-tech methods for your cold frame? I'm curious to know - will you be rocking the high-tech glass panel option or going for a more rustic, homemade vibe?
