Re: I fear the plants would wilt forever in this area, although sometimes
The only prob., Pat is unless one maintains heat in a greenhouse one is restricted to tomatoes and peppers,cucumbers etc. Ironically then it is too hot and one must shade the glass or stiff plastic as is used sometimes. The electricity here is quite expensive, perhaps you have cheaper rates. If for a start you made a raised bed I expect you could grow most summer veg quite easily . Of course you would have to drape a net over your produce if those pesky squirrels were around.

Re: Kabu
No good talking to you then about deep digging. We have not had much snow for three years and I am still forecasting a rather mild winter although the frost in some parts was the severest for ten years. I want Chumpet to give me my jersey back but he says it keeps his hands warm,

Re: RPresta
Yes RPesta I cannot take things back it is too time consuming. The only thing I take back is when I have been rude to someone. This could have been a good poem ,but I was tired of it. You know how it is, Hey and you beat me on comments again this week you are a little rascal.

Re: I was thinking PADDINGTON BEAR, when u switched to the Mare! sorry 4 plants
Well induced by sentiment we ate neither fowl nor beast today. Just Quorn sausages made as you might know at the onset in mighty vats of a secret ingredient. One day all meat will be made this day. I always feel sad for turkeys gobble,gobble. Yes I know.

Too bad about the heater CC. and the poem had a folklore quality to it. A Phantom Mare with a girl riding off in it seems magical.

that became casualties of the weather. If peole can eat a cow/beef. or meats that were killed as living animals days, weeks before shipped across the world, what's wrong with a few dying veggies? They are - as we- all decomposing at different rates only, LOL! shalomShalom friend.

Love the way your said that about 'an opportunity lost forever' to Arthur. Funny one. The poem was laced with ribbons of magic; so enjoyable.

I fear the plants would wilt forever in this area, although sometimes
your descriptions of the planting, etc., make me think of setting up a small greenhouse and testing my 'green thumb' now that time has elapsed since I tried to grow anything.
