After a few times losing plants, you will be more selective in future - I know I am, but still, if there's something I love, I will plant and cover when indicated.

Thanks .. the only part I disagree with is
but this was unusually cold for here because we have been here 5 years and every year has had at least 1 "deep freeze" including the first week we moved in here in early January 2017. I was ready to demand a refund!
