I humbly submit that bad advice is not the exclusive province of we
colonials, and that any denizen of the Internet at large who does not keep
several large grains of salt is in trouble! (Think political advice given
near closing at the pub...)


That is very true, and there are significant differences between
what is hardy in Cornwall, Cambridge and Caithness :-)

You are NOT one of the transpondians for whom the uk.rec.gardening
weather FAQ was written :-)

Most of the time I prefer to keep quiet and be thought a fool...
Particularly at this time of year, when spring is breaking out in the U.K.
and I have to clutch at straws ("I think that willow is definitely greening
up at the branch tips") for any hope at all.


As distinct from July, when we ask "Was that warm spell in May the
best weather we are going to see this year?"
