Yes. it is amazing what you can get away with. I'm growing a lot of tropical things here (since we rarely get frosts) and having good success. I am mostly interested in spices and herbs, food plants. Do you have any Curcumas? I have turmeric doing very well in a large pot outside. It's almost a metre tall! I'm currently looking for Curcuma zedoaria. I also have plants of Boesenbergia pandurata (rotunda) and Kaempferia galanga in pots, as well as Alpinia galanga, Alpinia zerumbet and the Australian native Alpinia caerulea all doing well in the garden.
