Well,
I suppose we all want to be
somewhere other than where we are at times..... I would like to see your
gardens, take a vacation in your neck of the woods. Perhaps some day I will. I
spent two years in your country a bit outside of Oxford.That was many years ago
and I was not interested in gardening at the time, but have all kinds of fond
memories. The older I become, the more clear the memories become. Next I will
need a rocking chair on the front porch...;-)

I have to say I am
really disappointed that I won't be able to visit the land of Munchkin it
sounds a great place Gene, and have followed your contributions over the last
couple of years (along with everyone else's) with interest. Thought I would
take the opportunity to wish all listers a happy gardening year, and know from
experience that what ever else, it will be different from other years, which
is what makes our 'hobby' (obsession) so interesting. If any of you on
your 'plant treks' find yourself heading to South East England let me know and
would be happy to point you towards some great gardens or plant sales or both!
The Kent group of the Hardy Plant Society are having 6 this year dotted round
the county in some fabulous gardens, so contact me if you would like the dates
and locations. The weather has warmed a bit after a prolonged spell of
ground and air frosts and having to rely on shrubs and grasses to provide such
colour and structure as there is. But as gardeners we are always looking
forward to better things, with patience! Once again thanks for all the
correspondence over the past year,( interesting to hear your comments about
'Ground Force' on BBC America, very popular over here) Happy New Year
