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!
Junkk.com promotes fun, reward-based e-practices, sharing oodles of info in objective, balanced ways. But we do have personal opinions, too! Hence this slightly ‘off of site, top of mind' blog by Junkk Male Peter. Hopefully still more ‘concerned mates’ than 'do this... or else' nannies, with critiques seen as constructive or of a more eyebrow-twitching ‘Oh, really?!' variety. Little that’s green can be viewed only in black and white.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
Now, Dave.
ReplyDeleteWith 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!
ReplyDeleteNow 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.
ReplyDeleteProceed.
