Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 3248458, member: 9260"] there is a 'hard' climate line in southern new england, running from approximately new haven area up to approximately plymouth, massachusetts, and sliding ever so noticeably wnw. I call it the 'blizzard line,' with most of the epic dumps around or near it. im ese of it, in a coastal town with elevation between 90 and 230, so I get tastes of both the predominant salt water and then upland climates. literally. eg. 'it's snowing buckets at chez clif, but the sun is screaming at route one!' is not an unusual event. new london's climate has been steadily sliding towards something more like baltimore. check the data, its obvious. to that end, it kinda makes sense that the zoysia patch is so vibrant. ol' sam Clemens had it right about the weather around Connecticut, 'if you don't like it, just wait five minutes.' now more than ever. I've got a five year patch of brown turkey figs [I]in the ground with no care, protection, or maintenance whatsover[/I], that dies back every year, regrows, and gave its first figs last year. up next? [I]palm trees[/I], proally the kind that grows in england. heck, uvm is growing experimental rice up there, so why not? [/QUOTE]
