My Clarence,
A moment for geography - there is North and South (like in the
'War') and there is North, like in the Northern climate Zones - some of
us <g> don't consider New Jersey to be North or your old home of Dayton,
Ohio <g>- North cannot be anything south of Mass. in the Northeast at least.
Zone 4 and lower is North as far as gardening is concerned. People
think Zone 5 is North - well, those in Zones 7 - 10, anyway. Just my
musings on a sunshine, snow-covered mountain in Zone 3 in the gorgeous
White Mountains of New Hampshire.
Thinking of Spring,
Ellen Gallagher (yes, we DO TOO grow iris - do we???? - memory
is fading, so long ago we saw flowers....)
