It is rather nice, and is something that you are quite happy to brush
against as you walk past. Not all trailers are like that ....

That was true even for me before the last decade or so. My garden is
a wind trap, and the combination of -10 to -15 and a steady wind is
too much for such things. But, recently, no problem - though I couldn't
grow that.
My current rosemary and thyme problems are root rot. The soil may
be free-draining, but that doesn't help if the wet doesn't let up,
and is combined with occasional moderate frosts (-5 or more).
