Okay, we can't garden so.........
"Andy" wrote in message ... "Gary Woods" wrote in message ... Sacha wrote: what seeds, plants, bulbs have people ordered for this year? Anything new for you? I've got a couple of new catalogs, and I'm keen to expand the few blackcurrants I put in last year. I've asked my sweetie to look through the catalogs and make suggestions, and some Pagan spring planting rituals will be in order. So far in the Northeastern American colonies, we really haven't had winter, but predictions are for something resembling it to come in as a Canadian import in the next few days. Neither have we in the Westcountry of England, record overnight temperatures of 12.3 C last night in Devon ( we're verboten to know what that is in Fahrenheit ). For a rough estimate, double it and add 30! Alan Andy |

For a rough estimate, double it and add 30! I was brough up with feet, inches, pounds, stones, miles and LSD (old money) but I was lucky to have always used Centigrade. I am not sure why, but it was usually commoner in Ireland, certainly since the 1960s. Do younger (i.e. under age of 40 :-) UK folks use centigrade or farenheit? Farenheit is hard work. I lived in Germany for a bit and have now gotten used to kilos and kilometers and have been using decimal currency since it came in but still cannot get used to measuring people (height or weight) except in feet and stones. Temperature in centigrade is nice and simple though, thankfully. Alan Andy |
