Growing exotics and global worming
I don't believe most of the nonsense written about this. This year has been a disaster, and I don't think that it will be unusual. I lost a lot (including Salvia viridis and other labiates) due to the 6 months of cold and wet. And it took forever to warm up enough for the exotics to start. My Passiflora incarnata didn't break surface until June, and my Erythrina crista-galli until a fortnight later. Vegetables planted out failed to grow, and that happened even to ones I started indoors. A huge number of the things that the press claim we will be able to grow don't mind frost, but DO demand a decent summer. At present it is warm, but the nights are already closing in. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
