A result of filming in Europe, and not caring about the difference in

shallow scrapes, they in no way can compare to the warrens of European
rabbits. A daytime layup may be barely more than a shallow depression,
and
a nest is a small bowl, hardly a burrow -- barely holds the litter.


That's what I thought, Pat! So I have remembered something from my rabbit
project back when I was in 4-H. I believe they filmed the movie in
Romania, which would explain the goof.

from everything I heard, that isnt all that was completely phoney in the movie.
sigh. I have such a prejudice against films that run ads on TV every commercial. I
never go to see them, I dont even watch em on TV. STill refuse to watch madison
county and ... that ship that sank movie. Ingrid

Maddy, I love your posts always!!!

Well, Easter is a movable feast. The dates for 1860 through 1865 run
from late March to mid-late April. I don't know what year the movie is
supposed to be set in. Last frost date varies considerably in NC, from
late Feb in the coastal lowlands to June in the mountains. Don't know
where the movie/book was set, either. Cosmos are quick-growing and
here in zone 7b-8, we can easily have 2 crops of plants and flowers in
a single growing season. That is, seeds from the first flowers can be
used to grow (and see flower) a 2nd crop. Depending on when and where
'Cold Mountain' is, it *is* conceivable they could have had Cosmos for
Easter. 'Though not likely. :-)
