Interesting article by Nigel Colborn in Garden magazine re gardening in
changing climate
He starts by summarising all the out of ordinary weather of the last few
years, and the effects on flowering time in his garden.
Then mentions that Kent growers think this year will be bad for apples
as winter has not been cold enough; following last year's bumper crops
raises the risk of triggering biennial bearing.
He makes the point that "rules" are not likely to be of help in a
changeable climate, and concludes we need to develop a deeper
understanding of our own particular gardens, that covers more than just
soil type and climate.
I don't know, one person puts the decimal point in the wrong place, and all you sheep go on believing it for decades, wasting time and money on CO2 emissions solutions.
