Thanks Claire, this is a great tip and I've just done it. Then I ran the
printed chart through my little laminating machine, punched a hole in the
top and tied some yarn through it for a tassel. (Arghh, sounds like girl
scout crafts)

Print out this page, at least the chart part. Cut out the Celsius/Fahrenheit
comparison which you leave side by side. Cover this cutout part with clear
tape on both sides and use as a bookmarker in any UK or other metric book
you
are reading. Hardiness is often perplexing when you are reading. Stopping
to do the calculation is a pain and the numbers ruin your comprehension of
the writing. Consulting this chart is quick and easy. Can also go into the
wallet if you leave the US. Only us, folks, still uses Fahrenheit.
Skip the Kelvin scale which is not used in horticulture.
