I will. Her garden is in Alabama - long, hot & humid summers.
Cotton territory.


Ah. We don't have humid here. Hot yes, but not humid as we're
inland.
Is humid important for cotton do you know?

Drat, now I've got a song about Alabama running through my brain
and I'm darned if I can remember who sung it or enough of the
lyrics to do a google!!!!

Nah, it's not 'Oh Susannah' - it's a modern song. I keep wondering if
it's Steely Dan or some group like that -it's got a very nasal
'Alabam' repeat refrain in it. Not 'Alabama', but 'Alabam'.

Drat, it'd disappeared overnight but now I've got it running round in
my head again!


"America" ?
