If you wanna play, but your climate is too warm, or your soil is too good, or some other reason ...

You are welcome to get as close as you can and provide that video.  I'm not sure what all we might do with it, but maybe we can think of something.

If the GAMCOD project works, there appears to already be a lot of demand for doing it again in areas that are a wee bit warmer.  Like maybe the coldest it got in the last ten years is 20F.  So freezing, but not as hard of a freeze as our current GAMCOD project.


I also like the idea that future GAMCOD projects might be in the cold areas, but with a stronger focus on perennials.

20F is about -6.7 Celsius so covers the majority of the UK:

Although I'm borderline (in the yellow coastal zone), we have had -10 or so in the last 15 years since we've been here. I'm running out of potential spaces though....unless I don't play along next year.
Edited to add - I had a wander round today and think I still have at least 2 areas I won't get round to improving this year, so maybe.....
