Because some are hardy and some not, I keep one 'set' of my diascias in
the greenhouse, another in the cold frame and the third is left in the
ground. And I make notes of what survives and what doesn't as well as
numerous other observations. Oh, and more important than anything else,
I sometimes give them away to trusted friends or botanic
gardens/nurseries so I can ask for them back if I lose any ;-)
Its a lot of paperwork - more than smarter gardeners would want to
contemplate. But I'm a collector, and that's what collectors do. We're
a bit of a weird lot really. I could go on and on, but I will spare
readers the boredom.
I've never found people who are passionate about their own subject to be
boring. Fascinating post. Thank you.
