I am very lucky to be working in a greenhouse
Here in NY, USA we just planted our crop of Geraniums and New Guinea Impatiens in 4 inch pots and hanging baskets
It's so nice to walk in and see the little cuttings in the soil and smell the air.
Even though the ground is covered in snow and ice, you can tell that spring is not that far away.

We are lucky if we get 3 months here for growing tomatoes or anything in the garden lol!
Its ok if you have a greenhouse then you get longer but I do not have one as I think someone would have a go at breaking in.
I did not even have a garden at the last place so I hit lucky when I moved here.

We start our gardens around the end of May and have about 4 months of a growing season.Our Summer is very short where i live.

Onderwerp: Re:
Foxy Lady:only in the wet season and this is the first one for about 5 years :(

the humidity is what kills us....98% isnt uncommon at all and the perspiration just runs down your arms/legs/back etc...it is really uncomfortable and AirCons are going day and night....can be expensive, but probably the same as paying for heating all the time :(

Do you always get alot of rain?

16. februari 2007, 06:16:05
Bernice 
we have had so much rain it has made it just terribly unpleasant....I havent been able to get into the spa because the rain made it overflo and of course the chlorine washed away and the water started to go cloudy....so had to empty it half way and refill with extra chlorine... living in the tropics certainly has its downfalls, but it would be better than being snowed in I reckon, but still......

skipinnz: I should be able to start getting my garden ready for vegies etc late March/early April...living in the tropics really spoils for growing vegies, so we plant our lettuce/summer vegies and also small amount of winter vegies all at the same time...I have had sweet potatoes in since last July....havent got a darn thing off them....just been far too hot

The grand old Hotel has gone? OMgoodness...really? did they build another in its place?...havent been to Hamilton in over 25-30 years :)
