Hello. It's me again ...

I imagine that, at that altitude
a good fresh easterly wind is really going to hit home. Very best of
luck.

I found the Postcode Plants Database
(http://www.nhm.ac.uk/science/projects/fff/) and plugged in my new
postcode, ML12. The thinking behind this is that the native plants
growing in this area ought to be a strong pointer to what might grow
successfully in my new garden. (It's a great resource BTW - I'm
impressed)

Next problem. A postcode area does of course cover quite a large area.
I'd like to cross reference the results of this search against a list
of plants that will grow at given altitudes/climate zones.

Question: does anybody here know of such a resource? Internet for
preference as I can then do an electronic matching in Excel or
something ...

TIA
