Seems like my reply shows up in the thread if I respond via email rather than use the Reply button so that's what I'm doing. Thanks for the nursery info, not sure what practical good it will do me but at least I'll be able to look at lots more pictures of snowdrops...sigh. Not sure what governments think they're accomplishing with some of the regs, so very frustrating for gardeners. On 2015-03-06, at 1:41 PM, penstemon wrote: > > Thanks for the detailed info.
