I do like the snow but not the cold and ice.
Looks like I might have to pile plenty of mulch onto my borders again....

Have you seen the berries on the Holly? And the rowans are out already!
I don't know whether the Holly berries are as a result of last year's cold weather or in readiness for this winter??

I don't know whether to believe them. They said we were going to have a warm summer. They said it last year aswell, and also the year before.
I've also heard a forecast saying we're going to have a wet winter. I suppose we just have to cope with what we get when we get it
Lots of berries mean we had good weather at polinating time :o)

I am a weather fanatic and look at one extremely good weather site, and then a couple of other mediocre ones.
Have a look at this link .....

Around April? For polinating?
I did see reports of a very hot summer too, not quite sure if I missed it??
I'm hoping august 13th will be good cos my son gets married that day.

Whenever the polinating time is, lots of berries mean we must have had the right weather for it - not necessarily hot, but the right weather at the right time for that plant
Enjoy the wedding. I hope you have a sunn y day :o)

This is not the only bad forecast I've seen for next winter. I do hope it's not true, but fear it may well be. :-((((( Here we go again!
