G'day all and hows everyone been keeping :)??..Need to ask a wee question on if anyone is experiencing a late Autumn or strange growing season??...
Need to convince myself it aint me lol thats at fault with this years plantout...
Everything seems to be growing rather stranger than normal..ie; seedlings that dont want to grow past their first set of leaves , even my parsely in their seed trays dont want to grow further than mybe three inches tall..
Tomato plants gave a great burst of life without too many fruit set from flower and more yellowing of leaves than normal??..
Some plants are four foot or so tall and only just setting flowers??..
Could this be me or forces at work from the dark side lol??...
Mindya weve had ten weeks or so of constant strong winds too??..
Cheers

| We are having an extended summer down here Peter. No rain at all this Autumn so far and sunny days consistently. Definetly the dark side:-) |

| Volvo, it's definitely not you! It's the season. We've had a very strange Autumn. Extremely dry. Everything is bone-dry, just plain dust and dirt. The veggie garden is not doing much. Everything is stunted. We need rain!!! |

We were lucky enough to have a bit of rain last weekend but that's been & gone & it's back to sunshine & mild weather.
I have only just lit my fire & still have tomatoes ripening in the garden, all be it slowly!
Autumn is my favourite time of year in Australia so I'm not really complaining but a bit more rain would be nice :-) |

| All Look to the skies and you will see very strange jet trail patterns.

And then the snow season last year the skies were seeded to produce more snow ?????? |

I blame George Bush. The weather hasn't been right since he moved into the oval office. Our own Johnnie isn't helping either!
Not happy John!!! |

| Hmmm, I did actually read somewhere that the US has the control of the weather as one of its long term scientific goals! I noticed a report on local news the other night that had images of almonds in blossom already, a spring flush bought about by this unseasonallly warm autumn (my own almond has yet to shed its leaves). My Shahoot mulberry has decided to produce another crop of fruit instead of dropping its leaves...bizarre! mudlark |
RE: This Autumn

| Not so funny Mudlark, if the US could control the weather they most certainly would. But, then again, global warming is a given, and no government, anywhere, is doing diddly squat about it. Mantis *who had a fresh ripe tommy in my sandwich today, and thats a first for this time of year* |
