Global warming and your garden

We are about 10 days behind normal in Southern NH.

If you have any extra global warming, please send it our way. Email will be fine.

We seem to be having a cooler spring. Leaves out pretty much as usual.

Look at this for weather history going back to 1945 for your area.

Enjoy!

On the Paul James gardening show this last weekend he was talking about gardening in the cities. He said that some cities have a growing zone as much as one climate zone warmer. This is because of Urban Heat Island effect (UHI).

I would be cautious about thinking of or planning a garden depending on the supposed "global warming" for every area of the United States or the world. For example, there has been significant crop loss for the wine industry this spring in France and parts of California because of cold snaps in the early spring.

Leafing, I don't know but I have tomatoes flowering, and that is very strange on the north side of this hill.

No, I live in TN and this is one of the coolest darkest springs we've had in years. This morning it was 58F and the heat was coming up. We never needed heat here after May 1st before.

Give it five days. Just about the time you dry out. That's fortunate because otherwise you'd have mold;-)

Here you are John. You may have 20 degrees of our 103 allotment for today

oooooooooo oooooooooo

You can have some of my 101F too, ay caramba. Es demasiado caliente aqui. "All" of the Golden Bantam corn came up today, bam. One of nine peanuts stuck it's head up as well.

We wont know anything for another 1000 years, then there will be to many people. It will all work itself out.

Sounds like the evacuation and recovery plan for New Orleans:o(

Ay, yi, yi. Kick ass day in the garden. The following, officially joined the garden today, two peanuts, 6 green beans, 9 sunflowers,

Last year was a pitiful year in my garden. There were three day when the temperature was at or over a hundred. The year before was a great year for me and there were 12 days at or over one hundred.

The plants like the heat, but after a day of piddling around in the garden, I smell like a tired horse.

how far apart are you planting the dent & sweet corn? you don't save corn seed do you? lee

Remember that you said that when the glacier rolls over your house.

The real shocker is that the pollution generated by China's coal burning plants crosses the Pacific and has been reliably detected on the U.S. West Coast for quite some time now!!!

Maybe we should tell the EPA. hey just listed the polar bear as an endangered species because of polar warming. Actually, glaciers should be on the same list. Glaciers are fast disappearing which is bas news because instead of reflecting sunlight back into space, when the glacier is gone the sunlight (heat) gets absorbed by the planet and accelerates the heating.

As well as the crap they are putting into the ocean. The are the biggest polluters of the ocean in the entire world.

From what I read lately we should be more worried about global cooling.
