Anyone see any effects of having more daylight savings time on gardening? I
told my wife that my tomatoes would probably ripen slower, and she said to
get a new watch.

Not a bad idea Tom. Get a sundial watch or garden ornament. Us humans
think we matter a whole lot but I'd imagine light, temp, wind, and the
micro climates mean more to tomatoes and plant life. Also note if the
plants fail so do the other folks in the food chain.

Your Four O'Clocks (mirabilis) will be an hour off.

Best regards,

I saved a bunch of daylight in a glass jar once, but I dropped the thing and darned near blinded
myself. Since then, I've saved my daylight only in plastic containers.

I grow lots of Four O'Clocks and during the summer they
never open before 6 PM (EDT).

For a start the extra daylight will fade your curtains, the cows will give
less milk and the chooks will lay less eggs. As well trolls will call at
your door more often.

Just think what might happen if you had potted tomatoes and took them
across the international date line.

More people might consider this a valid point than you would suppose. I
was listening to a radio talk show on the Daylight Savings Time change
and whether or not Canada should follow the States' lead. Anyway,
someone phoned in to ask whether the solstice on June 21 would be
affected, and if daylight on that day would last for the same period of
time. The host was at a loss for words, for once.

I've never liked DST, it sucks big time and should be done away with.
