20/20 hindsight (remorse) for not adding a second “cover” for Purple Shamrock. The plant miraculously survived the severe freeze in January but has a long ways to go to reach the former beauty. The Sweet Potato vine is an “annual” and an inexpensive “mark down” (at Lowe’s) so no remorse.

Prior to ruthless eviction a year ago, Purple Shamrock was a star attraction on the patio when “we” were CARE residents.  ~~ Still “freezing” temperature as I publish this at 8:50 AM.
