Will this survive outdoors all year where I live? Straight answer first, then the one thing most likely to kill it.
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Choosing plants. Matching plants to your light, your climate and the small print on the label before you buy.
