Of course we are close to each other both in history, language, culture and
geography compared with where maybe most in the list lives. But me maybe
being furthest north (me on 60* N latitude) I might be in the best
climate?? There is a map of Europe where USDA zone are put in in the like I
paste here.

Only a small part of Norway is on to it in the upper site of picture; and
if you don't now where Norway find another atlas to compare. But I live in
that part with the red zone 8 and that is the only place in Scandinavia
generally in that zone .. belive it or not ... did I tell you last mail it
is far north like Churchill and Anchorage??
But being on the coast, we don't have warm summers, so ....well well
But being used to it it is ok. I like the larger possibility I have to grow
a lot more plants because of mild winters. True and tender north?
