As anyone given some thought recently about the
lenght of their growing season?
A few days ago, I had this discussion with some
friends that have also been growing all their vegetables for many years and they
feel as I do that the growing season has been getting longer in the last
few years. In fact, they mentioned that they are now growing a second
crop of certain vegetables and delaying planting some Fall vegetables
into end of July!
We have some birds that have extended their
territory some 100 miles further north in the last 10 years... The
mournful dove that used to live near the St-Lawrence and the Great Lake would be
an example.
Another example would be earwigs that are suddenly
quite at home in zone 3 where they didn't seem to be able to get
established before. Indeed, for many years they have been quite a plague in
warmer zones and people used to joke about the earwigs being able to climb
walls but not the Gatineau Hills...
As anyone been keeping records?
Hélène, zone 3
