Re: [IGS] census of interests

Mimi,

First, my apologies for failing to recognize that you do grow scrambling
type pels (P. peltatum).i thought I had read all the replies to this
subject carefully but I missed a few points. Do you grow P.lateripes as
well?

Second, what is a 'serre'? After all the plants that you grow I made a few
guesses but none seemed to fit.

Glad to hear you like fuchsias as well. For the first time in many years I
have no Fuchsia mite to contend with. Gartenmeister Bonstedt was crippled
every year but has now recovered, with clumps ten feet across and in flower
all summer. Almost a weed again.
