It is totally unfair how things just freaking grow like massive beasts in England. All they have to do is throw down some seed and voila- they have a beautiful garden. In fact, their yards are so pretty they actually call them 'gardens' - our yards are just that: yards. Of brown, crunchy, horrid used-to-be grass. You could cut yourself on it.
Here in Ohio things only grow in May and June when we get all excited that maybe, just maybe, they'll survive the holocaust that is Ohio July and August, only to have our hopes cruelly dashed by the relentless Sun God Apollo. Then in Sept. and Oct. plants have another slim chance before our first frost which is usually "earlier than expected" and there go your mums.
Ohio- it's cheap to live here and you'll know why once you visit!
