After all, with all those factors to take into account, just 11 zones seems a bit paltry. I think they're just a rough guide and there's no substitute for local knowledge. I was surprised most of Scotland's in the same zone as the rest of the UK, as we know the growing conditions are so different, just on daylength and frost days alone!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-50062384151628136752009-01-12T20:01:00.000+00:002009-01-12T20:01:00.000+00:00Allotments in Ireland are growing in demand.Most o...Allotments in Ireland are growing in demand.Most of them including ours are privately run by farmers etc.We pay 200e per year for one about 20ftx30ft!<BR/>A lot of pressure is being put on city councils now to supply them, so hopefully they will oblige but for this year now anyway it will be too late.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336168195436906219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-6933767604605330672009-01-12T14:13:00.000+00:002009-01-12T14:13:00.000+00:00Hi LindaThank´s for the comment on my blog.The tra...Hi Linda<BR/><BR/>Thank´s for the comment on my blog.<BR/>The tracks are from a person who has walked over the ice, It was several persons that was out fishing.that day. <BR/><BR/>Greetings<BR/>Gunilla in SwedenGunillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07808337319518403153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-37229360907855006042009-01-12T08:49:00.000+00:002009-01-12T08:49:00.000+00:00Sue, we're actually coming to enjoy the short walk...Sue, we're actually coming to enjoy the short walk to get to the allotment site. It's just far enough to feel that we've left the domestic scene behind, and to be in a little separate world. Allotments in Britain aren't income-linked, although there is a reduction in the annual fee for unwaged and retired. But they're open to all, and in Edinburgh for the very reasonable annual rent of £60 - about $90 I think.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269887100694066103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-82794642933441356462009-01-12T02:14:00.000+00:002009-01-12T02:14:00.000+00:00I admire you for having a garden where you don't l...I admire you for having a garden where you don't live. We have some community gardens here, but I wouldn't be able to keep up with one. You may have to be low income to have a plot, though. <BR/><BR/>I hope the spring cooperates when it comes, and your ground is ready to plant without the bad kind of worms.<BR/><BR/>SueCorner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.com
