Hi Billy
One question: what is the size of the hanging pot?
OK another question:
If you want perennial, do you need it to be evergreen or is it OK for
it to
go dormant in the winter?

I have to go to a CA Native Plant meeting right now, but I'll think on
it and
get back to you later, (like Thurs)

We had frost Tues am, and today it got up to 76F Hooray!

Good to hear from you Emilie.

The pot is about a foot in diameter, and it doesn't need to be an
evergreen. I want it for the birds, roughly April to Nov.
It was a comfortable 70°F at 6 PM today, but the temps have've been
dancing around 35°F at night. It's keeping the grape growers from
getting a good night's sleep. I look at the computer in the evening to
see the temps, because I have tomatoes and squash outside. So far, so
good, but the rain had me worried. I'll post a picture of the pot
tomorrow. Thanks for any help.
