from "JennyC" contains these words:


Found you a couple more useful sites:


USAUK gardening !
http://www.gardeningcd.com/Adapt/adaptPg21.htm


Useful???????????????????????????

.Here's a taster of what that American site says about gardening in the UK:,

"they don't have to contend with deer, rabbits, squirrels, moles, (snip)

"In the 1960's, Miximitosis broke out in England. Rabbits are the
victims. To kill the disease, the countryside was sprayed liberally with
DDT, which not only killed off practically all the wild rabbit
population, but also much of the wildlife and wildflowers. (snip)

In the UK (again generalizing), winter temperatures rarely drop below
32ºF, summer temperatures average 75ºF "

:-O

See what you mean!

Must admit, I find it irritating having to walk through all those 'DDT
dips' while out hiking.
