Re: new USDA hardiness map

**"* B* <g*@netsurfusa.net>**

Somewhere around here is a feature article I wrote on climate effects on
gardeners over the last few years. About 5 or 6 years back. None of the
major gardening mags I contacted would touch the article. 
	UK has a reams of research and records on this topic that goes back
quite a few years. Their fruit growers, bee keepers and bird watchers has
painted pictures that are hard to argue with concerning the effects of
weather change. 
	Who knows? Perhaps it is almost time for the subject to get some
real notice from those who have a position to make a difference.
