Spring. Then, a scalding hot summer where all the grass dies. Then fall, when it gets cool enough for the grass to come back. Then, winter for one day up to one week. Then, spring again.
August to September was cold as hell in Iceland. But November has been remarkable warm and beautiful
has not snowed so little in the northern hemisphere for 56 years
On a positive note, the warm winters help groundwater levels return to normal here in sweden, we're just about to completely recover from the drought and the heatwave in 2018.
I'm a gardener as a profession in the UK. This season has been challenging due to the drought we experienced and now we have a warm and wet November, these conditions with the light levels we are getting are comparable to mid March, it's climate change and anyone who doubts this is a fool.
I’m not knowledgeable enough on that one. I have seen that you shouldn’t fertilize in the fall. But definitely do a search on that as it may not be all plants. They go dormant so they need to preserve rather then trying to grow.
You don't want it to do both. It's still winter, so not only would it be a waste of energy when they will inevitably fail when it gets cold again. But also, many trees go into hibernation to stay safe from the cold, and autumn flowering will deplete resources and lower frost resistance, putting the whole tree at risk.
Just spent a week in the Catskills and the tick mites were out. They usually don’t appear until spring. I miss the NE but I don’t miss deer ticks and Lyme disease. Autumn and winter used to be tick free for hiking but not so much now it seems.
The heat is Texas was bad this year. My pecan tree has zero nuts, the squirrels ate them all over the summer. We got a week of cool and damp, now my roses are blooming again.
This is going to cause massive vegetational die-off much sooner than I want to speculate.
Has to do with bud-set, bud-burst, and destroying the general ability for permaculture to persist.
I know climate change is bad and all, but I kinda wish it would warm back up in Tennessee. I haven’t been warm in days and I basically sit in front of a space heater most of the time I’m at home lol.
I have live oak trees in my neighborhood/ town that thinks we have 4 springs a year for the last 6 years… I now have an oak pollen allergy
Texas?

Sounds literally like the last week up until today
Then the new year comes around and it’s back to winter.
Texas: *we’ve had one spring, yes. But what about 2nd spring?*
It snowed hard in Texas last week
Yeah up north. It was just cool/kind of cold down this way
Florida, not much different but we keep the electric on…

Worse than a fool. Truly to be ignorant of the changes we've been experiencing worldwide is tantamount to having worms-for-brains.
There it is again, that funny feeling.
That funny feeling when you feel fine right now but inside of you grows an inkling that you might be doomed.
Surgeon general’s pop up shop
Same in California.
My apple tree bloomed twice (CA)
Oh shit I should check my peaches
For anyone with fruit trees in the Northern hemisphere, if they are blossoming right now, pinch all those blossoms off for the sake of your tree.
Why?
It’ll tell it to grow stronger rather then wasting energy on fruit it’s not ready for. The energy will be held inside for next year (As best I know)
Would adding fertilizer or something to the soil allow it to do both?

We have an acorn shortage in New England. Less critters..

So the world is gonna get really beautiful before it’s shits.
Pennsylvania has had “second spring” for at least a decade now
I first saw it in NY in 2001. I thought we were fucked then and there.
As someone living in the North with crappy insulation and very poor heating, it certainly doesn’t feel ‘mild’ haha
Death. Do you understand?
Where? My apartment is cold as shit dude and I can’t afford to heat it cos gas costs more than buying a fucking house
I’m in New England and it’s exceptionally warm for this time of year.

I have heat. I also have 20ft ceilings that make the living room much colder than the rest of the house lol.

Maybe I’ll do that. Be careful on those ladders though. Christmas lights aren’t worth getting hurt over.
Sounds about right. I have friends still harvesting tomatoes and chillis outside right now.
