RE: Pleased to meet you...

Hi Wendy:

        I am from New Orleans, LA, USA, and an avid gardener. I grow old
roses and floribundas. I don't know very much about New Zealand, and would
love to hear what it is like. It is winter now in New Zealand? What are your
seasons there? How cold does it get? what is the growing climate like? What
grows well there? Have you been gardening a long time?

        In New Orleans, we are having temperatures around 95-98 degrees
(farenheit) every day--it is like an oven. New Orleans is a semi tropical
area and it is green year round. I'd love to hear about you city/country,
and your garden.

                your friend, Adrienne
