Betcha it is of very little use in the USA......an awful lot of UK advise is
based on their climatic conditions which do not apply in the
USA........besides many of them "over there" are stick in the muds and think
not in modern terms.

Yes, but you have to admit we have a lot over here in the U.S. that react in
ways not expected by the serious person who is trying to help someone else.
I think it is an individual thing, not caused by being from any particular
location. I have read responses from people in the U.K. who really
appreciated the help, same as with many other parts of the world.

Have fun, and don't sweat the little stuff. And thank you for all of your
well meant responses.

Good luck. Dwayne

Anne, have you ever been to England? I went on a horticulatural tour
a few years ago.....those people _garden_. They have pensions for
gardeners. The Chelsea Flower Show is incredible. I don't know what
you mean about 'modern terms', but with regards to gardening, they
definitely know their stuff. And a good gardener learns all about
his/her plants from many sources. The Garden magazine, a publication
of the Royal Horticulatural Society, is an amazing source of
information.

Purely Opinions"

From Harold (not Anne) just south of Boston also.........the simple answer
to your question.......yes.....I lived there for the first 28 years of my
life........Chelsea Flower Show.......without a doubt, the finest in the
world.......some of the very best of gardners in the world live in the UK as
do some of the very worst........on the average there is little question in
my mind that the "average" UK gardener is superior to the "average" USA
gardener........the gap, however, is closing, due I think, to one main
factor........ the improvement over here in peoples attitude towards
gardening and the subsequent greater attention being paid. (towards the top
of the list in USA hobbies with a decline in the UK as compared to 50
years ago when the average UK resident only thought of driving a car and
taking trips to foreign lands was but a dream and thus they had much more
time to spend gardening) .

If I ever wish for gardening info it is to the English references I
generally turn to rather than the USA ones.......I think their publications
are better.(Take a look at the The American Horticultural Societies
"Encylopedia of Garden Plnats"........I suspect it is a copy of the English
version with plant zones etc. added..........I suspect the Editor in Chief
of the USA publication is the same Editor of the UK version)

Chelsea Flower Show......a couple of years back I saw some amazing tomato
plants on display.....they were just fantastic........there is only one
other place have I seen such quality results.....the Waltham Experimental
Station east of Boston. Am not sure whether or not it is still in operation
with the budget squeeze in Mass.......oh yes, the best over here can equal
the best over their and vice versa.

"Stick in the muds"....the older generation and not the youth of
today......we have them over here as well but not in the same
volume.......the USA attitude, in general, is more progressive in many areas
but the world is catching up.

HW

p.s. If you are a top notch/keen gardener in the UK you can garden anywhere
in the world with quick success - the weather conditions over there being
what they are and the adversities they present lead to many creative and
ingenious solutions to growing problems.......problems that never exist in
our climate.......my hat off to those over there.

Paul and I went to England for a week 3 years ago. We just missed the
Chelsea Flower Show though.
I went to Hidcote, Sissinghurst and a couple of other more minor gardens.
At Hidcote, my friend and I actually ran into Christopher Lloyd in the
garden walking his dachshunds! Barky little things they were g.
I was so thrilled to finally see Sissinghurst. It was the beginning of June
and seemed an especially good time for the garden.

Come on Harold you know better than that.
Anyone in the UK who does stumble over this site has to be quite with it and
computer literate, could be quite useful if they get the publicity and shape
it up a bit.
I should say we are no more stick in the mud than any other "Gardening"
community.

I remember visiting Sissinghurst as a child when we lived in Hastings. That
was in its early days when it was just open a couple of times a year, and
you could sometimes just "drop in".
I remember half the grounds still being overgrown.

Regarding Chelsea flower show. It is still a great show, but I do believe
that it is now equalled if not out done by Hampton Court Palace flower show,
which has more room and also has plants for sale as well as so much more. A
great range of Water gardens,

We'll definitely be going back, although I think Ireland (for the second
time) is next on the agenda. Did see Reynolds' Butterstream Gardens when we
went in '98. Stayed at a wonderful country estate B&B whose hostess had her
cooking certificate from the Ballymaloe Cookery School, so the food was
great.

Oh--correction: Lloyd's garden is Great Dixter, not Hidcote.

and.........if you go over there in September consider the flower and veggi
show in Harrogate......not the largest show by any means but a chance to see
some of the worlds record produce in terms of size etc. example...the
world's record for an onion wieghing in at an ounce or so short of 17 lbs.
(around 7 3/4 kilos for the European bods.).

David...did you read what amounts to my "humble apology" that was posted on
3/01/2003 which basically responded to a previous comment?

The Waltham Field station was there last year. I love the scholarly rose
garden there and I do my best to get to the rose sale and the plant sale in
the spring. Eugenia, zone 6, two towns west of Boston
