What a coincidence. Chicago is a really nice place despite what Trump has to say about it. I don't even mind the weather, I'm just jealous that people can have year-round gardens. We have a lot of nice perennial plants but it's nowhere near the variety you can get when it's warm all year

    Regarding the cold up there, I remember a photo in a newspaper decades ago of tons of icicles hanging off a building after the fire brigade had hosed it all down after a fire.

    Another coincidence is that I sent my plant photos to my sister in Northern England and she said exactly the same as you about indoor plants.

    And really, who listens to that orange scrotum anyway ? I don't follow much politics but for some reason since 2016 I have followed yours. I have never hated a person more than my hatred for him. Here's hoping they all get what they deserve but I won't hold my breath.

    Maybe you should get a heated greenhouse. Oh and your house sounds nice, however as you said a lot of work. Cheers.

    Yep sounds about right. It's not quite Canada cold but it's definitely chilly. Even without the fire department, you're knocking icicles down all winter.

    Here's another one for the pile: I just repotted my English Ivy, a plant I love that is considered a weed by her.
