Looks like you have a great snuggle-dog, Sheri! Wish my Ridgeback would oblige me this way...

Re: Brugs - they are strictly "pull them inside for the winter" plants. They'll mush outside here (personal experience), but will overwinter nicely if you have somewhere to stash them inside, or in a greenhouse.
Are you taking the hint about the greenhouse? =:0)

By the way - no need to worry about being a "forum hog" - this is your thread, so feel free to ask/opine as much as you need. The more information you can give, the better suggestions we can toss to you.

Landscaping in chunks is so much easier, especially when you are working with different climate & soil conditions than you're used to. Plus, it is easier on the budget and the brain.
Colour explosion - oh yes! There are lots of annuals that will provide just that, as well as an idea of which colours work best for your setting & style. Less expensive to fill in areas with annuals prior to investing money/time/labour in perennials, etc.,

Another question for you (well, I'll always have ANOTHER!) is in regards to plant choices:
is there a favourite you like/want to grow in particular?

OK - back to snuggles with Chile. Hey - where's Crikey?

I'll see if I can find that list of fragrant shrubs & perennials. It's probably posted somewhere in the PNW forum, but its location...?

Take care, stay warm & Happy Gardening in 2008!
That goes for all of you!
Pieris: not too much longer - mine are all budded out & coloured up...
