Well I'm not going there to find out but I suspect when any location in NZ gets to 37C, its a dry heat partly fueled by katabatic winds. This is still less irritating to alpine/european perennials than our 2 month summer steam baths. Part of the problem with comparing climates in this way (plant related) is the most useful information often isn't readily available. Hi and even lo temps are only part of the story. Dewpoint temp standard statistics...mean, 90th percentile values...morning and afternoon...would really be more illustrative. Likewise average rainfall...which doesn't reveal ours comes in huge, plant menacing clumps unlike your more reasonable pattern of sporadic showers. (Might not be true everywhere there...but more like the UK than SE US at least)

Do you still have seeds available? If so I would really love to plant some of these please let me know if/what you still have! My email is kristina_schneider19@yahoo.com Thank you soo much Kristina

If they are still available, would love the Flowering Quince, Cosmonaut Volkov tomato, Rose de Berne tomato and African Togo tomato (these in particular look so cool!). Thanks! Sincerely, Shannon
