I just wanted to record my gob smacked amazement and gratitude at the response to my rather timid enquiry about gardens, property and nature.

It's been a bumper harvest! Nick Blomley ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ N i c k B l o m l e y Associate Professor Department of Geography Simon Fraser University Burnaby, B.C.
