I have a home in each country and want to plant some olive trees in my yard in Louisiana. How can I do it? Rgds Quote \| Reply \| Report

You will have to navigate to your special need. (Take out any spaces that appear when you paste into your browser) Quote \| Reply \| Report

I think you have to purchase plants from someone who has a license to ship them into the United States. Are you unable to find the same plants from a nursery in the states? Quote \| Reply \| Report

Similarly the code for an "o" is "%6F", so you can do a link to Google like this: http://www.g%6F%6Fgle.c%6Fm/ With an "o" character, swapping "o" for "%6F" is silly as it makes the address less readable. But with a space character, swapping for "%20" is needed because website addresses aren't allowed to contain a real space character (because otherwise it would be difficult to tell where they begin and end!) N.B. Garden Guides is deliberately adding the unnecessary space. Quote \| Reply \| Report
