Dear Clarence,
Of course Syracuse is North - but my point was, it IS the ZONES that
determine Northern gardening not so much the location - we DO have rebloomers
here, believe it or not, but I don't have any. Those of us in Zone 3 can be
forgiven if we get 'grumpy' with all this awful snow while "you people"
wax eloquently about your gardening exploits..n'est-ce pas? ;)
Wait until mid-July & August,
Ellen Gallagher e_galla@moose.ncia.net Lancaster, NH
