Here is are some of my plants here in Lexington, Kentucky. You may remember when I posted on here when I lived in Jacksonville. I actually feel like while I can't grow very tropical things here that what I did grow grew better up here. They key has been the ground actually holds water unlike the Florida sandy "soil". All of these were taken at the end of August.
