Final Summer View

GT:

I can't even relate to what you must feeling. To have all the outdoor plants die off or go dormant and nothing to do outdoors in winter...would be a very, very strange experience.

We still run, bike, ski all that stuff. It has to be really really cold to stop us. I do keep the indoor plants to stave off my gardening urges, someday a conservatory or something to lengthen the season.

GT:

Sorry! I meant to say: I couldn't relate not being able to work, plant in the yard, in winter. :>)

I almost can't dream of a place that has gardening year round anymore Delonix....lol. Easier to pretend everywhere freezes up sometime... :-)

GT:

I guess I'm lucky here in San Diego...we have a 365 day a year growing season.

Can't imagine a 365 growing season! Like I can't imagine the low, low temps there in Alaska! -10ºC here is more than enough! Much better though is to have the +6º or 7ºC we have had today. :-)

Balcony:

Can you imagine getting up to 92ºF/33ºC in December? That's what the predicted high temp is for inland San Diego tomorrow.

Delonix that would be fabulous as a summer temp but I wouldn't want it in December however much I dislike the cold! Probably around +10ºC would be a pretty good temp for this month I think! LOL! It's only wishful thinking as by the end of next week we can expect the snow to return! :-((

Balcony:

If the high temp was 50ºF/10ºC here in San Diego we would be freezing to death! We don't get such cold high temps here anytime of the year. The average high temp for San Diego in January is 68ºF/20ºC. on the coast and 71ºF/22ºC. inland. Although, sometimes it is cooler or much, much warmer.

Hope the snow isn't to severe there at the end of the week!

I understand you perfectly, Delonix, as when we lived in Spain if, during the summer the temps fell below 30ºC, after some weeks of being in the high 30ºCs, then we would be shivering almost! :-D

Balcony:

It happens here a lot in winter. Quite a few times during winter we get heat waves...then when it gets back to normal temps, we're complaining it's too cold. :>)

LOL! I can quite believe it!
