Hey, first of all, I like Frost! Every year, I hunt for a rose plant at Walmart named, you got it, "Jack Frost". I got one from there over ten years ago, but it died a couple of years later because we had a little bit of a drought in Seattle, believe it or not! It had the prettiest white shade of a rose that I've ever seen. Like fresh snow on the ground, crystalline white. No pink, no yellow, no green, just white.
Having said that, I Googled the map of NYC, and found that Newark, NJ is 7-8 miles west of NYC as the crow flies. So, if your relatives are on the opposite side, and they can grow a garden, then the people in NYC can also garden. And having the same Latitude, more or less, the weather in NYC and on the east side, and in Newark, will have the same weather pattern. Most of the time, that is. But again, who can afford to have a garden in NYC? Are there any banana growers out there?
