Just when I thought I'd said enough about global warming in the garden, I heard the topic explored on the Earthbeat Radio Show the other day (recorded here in DC and broadcast nationally on Pacifica Radio) and it prompted a rant.  No surprise here, I know.

National Wildlife Federation naturalist David Mizajewski listed some sensible proposals, like reduction in the use of gas tools, and made these points about native versus nonnative plants:  "What's scary about global warming is we just don't know what's going to happen.  We don't know what common garden plant that's well behaved now in the Mid-Atlantic is suddenly, with a couple of degrees difference, going to become a noxious weed and spread into the wild areas.". . .
