Where is the line drawn? When the books say something needs to grow in a humid climate, what is the definition? >Maybe humid isn't quite the right word; "steambath" is perhaps >nearer the mark. **Yes, 95% and warm is a steambath. On moist days here, even when we don't get above the 80's we think it's humid especially after working outside in it. But, we're no spring chickens. :-( s. -- susan, who is..... owned by Jasper & Schubert the Standard Poodles, Gracie the Rhodesian, Pup-Quiz the Basenji and their Basenji brother, Jones.... on the North Coast of CA, USA susanann@sbcglobal.net, copyright 2005
