So much for my garden

We almost never see freezing weather here. One winter, however, I lost
several plants to a severe freeze. The local nursery advised me to
ignore the possibility of a repeat freeze since they happen once in 10
years or less. In the years since then, that proved to be very good
advice.

How often is your garden affected by a hurricane or tropical storm?
Maybe you should ignore the possibility of a repeat catastrophe in your
garden. On top of that, bulbs, perennials, and most shrubs will come
back by themselves.
