Wow! After the broccoli growing in Greenland story, strawberry plants still producing ripening fruit in the UK during November!
And I've got to somehow find time to cut my lawns again this weekend, they're still going strong! A few years ago the last cut used to be around the first week of October!
Nuff said!

Now, Dave.
With my editorial eyebrow cocked, may I just ask if this is the first time strawberries have ripened fruit in the UK in November?
It weakens various cases if someone can come back and show that sunflowers were growing in December in 1941:) Or next year our buns are getting frozen in September.
That said, I am not betting on a snowman this Xmas!
Of course it weakens various cases if someone knows of a precedent but its certainly the first time that I've ever heard of it. I know that there are some growers who attempt to produce under heated greenhouse conditions throughout the year (not too successfully though from what I can gather) but outdoors in November is staggering!
Now that I have covered my cute, pert objectively-honed editorial buttox with recycled Charmin by asking, I await the front pages of the nation's dailies to scream 'We're all doomed... with cream and a cherry on top' based on this being a first.
Proceed.
