The
quality of light is very differnet in the UK to my garden and

plants
that can look good in the UK can look ghastly under our stronger

more
glaring light.

Don't rub it in, we are all about to go into hibernation!


:-)) Well to cheer you up later in your hibernation, I promise I'll
post sometime in late Jan, early Feb, about gardening in 40+ C heat
under an unrelenting and intensely dehydrating sun and being eaten
alive by bush flies with the hot dry wind making my tomatoes shrivel
to a crisp and the grasshoppers yet again ravaging the land :-))


Fair enough! I have down in Cornwall a very flat climate temperature wise,
never very hot and never very cold, but I like the rest of the country
cannot escape the Latitude which means less light than I would like in
winter :~)
PS I generally cheer up after Christmas when the days start to lengthen
again!


I get really depressed from lack of daylight in November (particularly
when I've missed the whole summer being stuck at the computer) and cheer
up after Christmas too. I think I would cheer up even more if I lived in
Cornwall ... it's such a magic place! I compromise by saving happy sunny
photos to use as screensavers...
