You are surely not admitting to be a reader of the Telegraph?

Shame on you!

It's raining pretty seriously in the Northeastern U.S., with our first
freeze predicted tomorrow night. I haven't even had a frost yet on my
hilltop.

I brought in all the tender plants and geraniums and put them in the
barn, it's a lovely day and hot enough to eat outside. The nights are
another matter, frost last night and snow flurries are predicted on
Sancy. not enough to lay, just a light dusting. Are you in New York
State Gary?

Yes; in the hills about 30 miles west of Albany; perhaps 180 miles west of
Boston (the American one). 1400 feet elevation, so a bit cooler than the
maps would indicate. That's a two-edged sword: my summers are a bit
cooler, but I usually get the first frost somewhat later than the valleys
below.

Is that the Albany-new york of Clematis 'Betty Corning' fame? (Wife of a
mayor there 1920's-1930's)

Indeed yes; Erastus Corning was mayor through, I think, the late 70s. He
was a branch of the family that owned Corning Glass...old money (at least
for us; you folks have much older). The George Landis arboretum across the
valley from me has that Clematis. I keep meaning to snitch a cutting or
two, after making a suitable donation. Does that violate the "cuttings
will succeed only if stolen" rule?

Yes! Something I said on another group was quoted in the DT a few years
ago, giving my name. I don't know who wa more surprised - the people who
had been making libellous remarks or me, who had been refuting them!

The killfile is our collective friend, folks.

I used to think that and still use it on occasion for the moronic trolls but
some people need watching.

Yes. The kill file allows the worst offenders to persist unseen and
unchecked.

If they are unseen, who cares? :-)

Thats more or less how Betty got it! apparently found on a house front in
the mid west and taken all the way to Texas as a cutting in a potato.
Still has the best scent of any summer flowering clematis.

Sacha, that is patronising to newbies. newbies to URG are not necessary
newbies to newsgroups.

I have said this before, if someone asks for advice the onus is on them to
ensure the advice is sound. I.E compare to other advice.

It is NOT your responsibility to hold everyone's hand.

I say kill file or ignore.
