Only imperial measurments here are plumbing parts, inch bords and pounds of draw weight on bows. Talking to you guys made me “bilingual” in terms of measuring unites so l do have a feel for imperial, but for practicality and scoencetific reasons l see no dubt in wich sistem is superior. The thing is in metric everithing is conected to everything by a factor of 10. Volume, lengh, weight…

I love metric for speeds, volume, weights, and temperature. Especially that zero means water freezes, and 100 means boiling, and one liter of water weighs one kilo, and takes up precisely a 10 cm cube, and 1,000 paces is 1km. For lumber, construction, and machining I will take imperial measure any day.

I like imperial for temperature measurement. To me the comfortable range of temp is too narrow in C probably because I was raised on F but i can’t seem to get my head around when room temp is good in C and when it is a little hot and when it is too hot.

Actually any saw mill operator here would tell the length of the log in meter but the width in inches. Also the sawn dimentional lumber is called for example 2"6 (which is 50X150mm) but store bought it’s always planed and labeled only 45X145 mm.

Yes, I did. Some.
Most grow them in greenhouses here but my neighbour actually have a Latvian variety called Silga out in the open in a brick wall south west corner.

Good find of the grape variety. In the fall after leaves are off you can cut a vine over 1cm diameter into pieces about 25 - 30cm with a bud / node at the top. Immediately plant in ground with 5cm above, propagation success should be over 80 - 90%.

Thanks Garry, I’ll remember that. I’ll just try to find a good spot for it.

I had to look sumac up. I don’t think I ever saw it here. Comes in many varieties it seems.
The major problem to me will be to find a south wall spot where I haven’t got firewood stacked 😄

Be very happy sumac doesn’t grow there.
Grapes will be happy to climb your wood pile ofcourse you won’t be happy when it comes time to burn it…

We have Sumac growing along the edge of the field right up to the regular trees. Poisonous Rhus bear WHITE berries,
while the EDIBLE SPECIES all have brilliant RED fruits. Read the description below for a good tasting slightly tart sumac- ade. Read how to make on the page below.
Giving credit where credit is due.

It’s a rather pleasant drink. You can use more or less sugar to suit your taste.
