		<description><![CDATA[Hanging baskets, they’re not just for hanging anymore. By all means, do hang them, but consider that basically, it’s a big pot full of colorful flowers or tropical foliage. You can remove the hanger, and set it on a pedestal for an instant “container” plant, or if it happens to be upright instead of trailing, you can set in on a table for a centerpiece.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The National Weather Service is forecasting a colder than usual winter for us this year, with average (or, unable to predict) precipitation. So we’ll see how our hardcore gardeners with Zone Denial do this year. Someday we’ll do an article on hardiness zones, but basically, the system is based on the coldest temperatures reached in winter for a given area, based on historical data.  Plants are rated for their ability to survive the winter within a range of zones from 1 to 11, with 11 being tropical/Hawaii and 1 being very cold Alaska/Fairbanks.]]></description>
