What works wonderfully
for a garden in England
may not do so well in America. Tins is a lesson avid gardeners Richard and Janet Fawcett learned when they moved to the United States after 40 years in England.
The English climate, like the English character, does not go to extremes; it is moderate,” Richard said. “In summer, temperatures rarely reach 80 degrees, and that would be a heatwave. Winter nights rarely fell below 25 degrees. A period of two weeks without rain justifies being called a drought. Thunderstorms are rare. Snowfall of over 2 inches is rare (except in the Southeast or in the hilher parts) and generally followed by a thaw.”
This climate without extremes allows the English gardener to grow a wide range of plants from around the world. It is even possible to grow palm trees in the particularly mild southwest counties of Devon and Cornwall, provided one is dose to the sea In winter, the lack of extreme cold allows some plants to continue to grow.
