I'm pleased to see someone in North America is aware of the effect of the
Gulf Stream on Britain :-) When I said something about the Gulf Stream in 1969
to two otherwise very intelligent and well educated friends in Boston they
thought I was pulling their legs. This despite the fact
Aberdeen and Royal Deeside are not in England; they are in Scotland. And
the Gulf Stream warms the west side of Scotland (there are tropical gardens
at Inverewe) but the east coast (Aberdeen and Royal Deeside) are chilled by
winds direct from the Russian Steppes.

How in the world
As I don't like seeing bare soil I fill in gaps with lavender plants. Apart
from smelling lovely if you brush against it, it spreads well and removes
the need for weeding.
Pauline Norris in Somerset made spider patterned pincushions filled with
lavender to send to everyone, using the lavender
You missed the point of the Gulf Stream, Toni. In no way does the climate of
Scotland compare with that of Russia. The Gulf Stream maintains our
temperate climate - so that a kilt is often to hot to wear, even traditionally.

They also said that the lavendar would survive most of our winters unless
we had a very long, very cold spell.
Alice et al - we get a very long, very cold spell every winter here in Ottawa and my
lavender bush is about 3 ft across. It has been a mass of colour for weeks.

Far from being limited to Southern Europe lavender is also grown in the north
east of Scotland - on Royal Deeside - and hand creams etc made with it.

Sequim was dying due to being so far
'out of the way' . . . until some
Californians moved
because they wear padded undies ... VBG ...

Of course, Oregon *is* south of Royal Deeside :-) And, yes, I do know your
seasons are more extreme than ours. I used to reckon that Aberdeen was
about
half way up the Hudson Bay, to give relative locations.
