Planning to start some plants from seeds early next year. Have had
success in the past, but find they get a bit leggy indoors during early
months.

Wondering if anyone has experience at starting them later, say right
outdoors, in containers, from seed.

Try a newsgroup aimed at the americas.

This one is for people who live in england.

Hi Alan,

Study shows that there is no area in the Americas that comes close to our
Canadian 'west coast marine' climate.

In fact, the only area on earth with similar climb is that of (much of)
the
UK; ergo the enquiry in this newsgroup.

Newsgroups have been international and open by design since the
internet's
inauguration eh.

The climate in Vancouver is rather similar to ours in the south west of
UK,
I believe. I have friends living there and when I visited was surprised
to
see how much alike our gardens were. Quite often when they email us, we
find that we're having very similar weather. Their big advantage is that
if they felt like it, they could just drive up the road a bit and go
skiing!

I have to say that I did not publish my comments about Canada not being the
uk, it was sent in a personal email.
