Not for the faint of heart
I am a native of Illinois, however, I have lived in Minnesota for more years than I lived in Illinois. I am still in denial about the weather. I keep thinking, next year will not be so cold...Next year I will have more than 5 months to enjoy my screened porch (a must because of the mosquitoes). I plant many perennials every year, and only half of them come up the next year, the winters are very hard on gardeners. The dark, cold winters are a source of some depression for me, now that I am retired I hope to go away during February and March to get a new perspective on life.
