Re: Chelsea Show and Europe


Marilyn,

I guess the author of the article saw it after the clean up...I can
well imagine the horror as I saw it in England and think it is much
the same as their disaster.  Until you've seen a whole forest laying
flat, it's hard to imagine...think the photos of the Mt. St. Helen's
eruption aftermath come as close as anything in the US.  It does
boggle the mind.  Just totally sick-making.  All you can do is
consider the opportunities for new plantings and move on, but I sure
hope to never live through something like that in my garden!
