As the weather gets warmer and the threat of frost becomes a thing of the past, people are clamoring to get plants for their gardens and homes.

'If you do pick out any annuals or plants that are not frost hardy, you want to tenderly take care of them, bring them inside on cold nights and cold mornings.
