Where Winter Does Not Win
When an annual is allowed to become a bush
William Vincent Carleton
In a warm zone or the tropics, winter doesn't close the ward. A pepper may live for years and turn woody, basil can become a shrub, and rosemary becomes a hedge. Len's cousin Rio has no snow door, but the lessons still hold: save seed, and remember a brown leaf is not a moral event. The tenth Gardens for Children book, for growers where frost never bites.
