ash before oak?
Do flowers count? The oaks here in Normandy are nowhere near bursting,
but have noticed an ash putting out those big black flowers. Somehow it seems like a normal, wet summer would be a good thing. -E |

The message
from Emery Davis contains these words: Do flowers count? The oaks here in Normandy are nowhere near bursting, but have noticed an ash putting out those big black flowers. Somehow it seems like a normal, wet summer would be a good thing. -E I think it refers to the appearance of the leaves. Hoping that the dear old met office will forecast a wet summer this year, so we can have a nice one! Roger T |

The message

Given the low temperatures we've been having, I would have thought that the oak would win. Thinking about it further, if this was the case, surely in the frozen north, where day length gets longer than in the south, the oak would always win! Roger T |
