Very interesting article, especially the part about copper wire. We will have to check on our garden too...maybe the eggplants will finally start to grow a little now.;)
Thanks for the link. I had heard about this a few times before but it is nice to read some of the facts on it.
I never heard of that! How interesting.

I've never heard of that before, but the truth is the shrubs and herbs are growing willingly against our neighbour's metal fence. That is even in the northern part of our land.
I'll just have to post some pictures of that. The red currant shrubs I planted when we came here are higher than me now, with more berries than I use. We had a thunderball of thunderbolts in the neighbourhood night to Sunday!
I had no idea that could happen. How amazing. We don't get a lot of lightning over here in England. (famous last words - we'll probably have a storm tomorrow) but I will bear all that in mind.
Your garden looks very productive.
Wow, how interesting!
Interesting! Never knew that either. We are surrounded by cedar fences so my beans will be slower I guess lol.
Interesting! We put wire fencing around the garden to keep the chickens out. Bring on the lightening!
