Sunshine on an Autumn Day

It may be the middle of October but in SE England many plants are still offering delightful flowers to delight the senses. I took these shots today on The Village Allotment where the summer veg is long past its best but the grapes are looking exceptionally ripe and juicy.

We’ve had some lovely days of sunshine here on the South Coast with little rain.Predictions are that winter 2010/11 could see ongoing low rainfall followed by a dry spring. Good news for drought loving plants http://www.myclimatechangegarden.com/blog/buy-drought-tolerant-plants

Will this forecast turn out to be correct? Anything has to be better than last winter’s artic temperatures which, although good for fruit trees, did lots of damage to many tender plants. Already there are lots of big berries on many trees – will nature have the last word and deliver another freeze?

Love to know your thoughts on the weather and whether you think it will be a dry or cold winter?

Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces. My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable.
