| This is how it looks along the high ways in Southern Sweden, as a result of the salting of the roads, to get rid of the ice during the winters. Beautiful with all those trift flowers, is'nt it? Trift usually grows on the sea shores, but they found that the soil was perfectly salted along the roads! So cleaver! Much more cleaver than those people who ban the salting of the roads - without the salt much more accidents should happen. The salt does not work when it is more than 10-12 degrees below zero, unfortunately. |

Well seen Monica. I wonder if we have a similar occurance of salt loving plants along the roads in Canada, because we use a lot of salt there as well (where it is warm enough to work). We may have this, and I might have just thought it was clover.
Thanks, John
