I know it's not humor ("humour" for the Canucks), but you should see the Hallertau hop arbor that grows on the patio at a beer bar in a neighboring (again, "neighbouring") city. They don't do anything but let them come up every spring, yet they harvest more than a pound (ok, 500 grams) every fall.

Middle Island,Ont., in Lake Erie, is further south than the northern California border.

Actually, a small portion of the Canadian mainland near the north shore of Lake Erie is south of the Oregon-California border. I live 50 miles north of Lake Erie at the same latitude or somewhat south of Concord, New Hampshire, La Crosse, Wisconsin and Eugene, Oregon. Chumley, that places you in the Great White North.
Last Monday night (January 7) a portion of southern Ontario was briefly under a tornado watch, a winter first. If global warming continues, who's to say what won't be grown in Canada? |
