that's a useful link indeed. I am so used to Fahrenheit/Celsius
conversion at a point I read indifferently both. But what drives me
in the dark is something like 'plant it in a 3 gallon pot'. I have
never understood how big is a 3 gallon pot and its diameter. Also
British gallon is different from US one. If you need I can forward
you a table with size of pot in cm and its volume in liters, as used
in nursery trade here.
To really frost the cake, a standard "one gallon" pot (as they are
called in this area) holds about 2.5 liters -- half an imperial
gallon, about 0.6 of a US fluid gallon.
Madness! Madness! Where is Lady Macbeth to walk the walls tearing her
