Is the summer over?

sorry to hear about your dry weather Kat, i know what you mean thought some of my trees have their Autumn colours already... very nice Bunny you have :-)

awww so sweet :)) afraid my leaves are reddening now - and some better weather ahead - but rain and winds closey following here :( also a very cold winter in UK is highly likely - so our summer is all about done well what we had - and a harsh winter after :(

Well, you know, I have had several friends dealing with ecology, from diffferent countries. I read or I heard from them, do not remember now the way of that information, some years ago, that this decade will be famine all over the world, as summers will be hot and dry and winters very cold and dry.
So, come on, gardeners, its our turn!

sorry about your dry weather we are the opposite, lovely flowers and cute bunny :o)

I know, Sanbaz, that´s why that introduction :)))

Summer went on holiday I think. Your bunny is gorgeous Kat...

Thank you, Linclass. Summer was here on holiday for previous two months, so there wasn´t room for spring :)) Hope we will not jump so abruptly to the winter...

I have a theory - the 2012 Olympics and Euro 2012 jinxed UK's summer!

Possible. But where was spring?

We had a very warm and very dry March here, Katarina, so a sort of summery spring. Sadly, it was followed by nearly 2 months of cold wet and windy weather, with a brief interlude of a heatwave towards the end of May, then back to cool and wet. So you've had our sun, and we've had your rain... and your lack of rain explains the 'quickening' of plants to get their seeds produced before early leaf fall.
Paul'sgarden, PLEASE don't tell me we're in for a hard winter - how sure are you about that?

we had a week :D

I said around 19th getting better a while back - seems to be coming true thankfully - we neeed some sunny weather . hopefully be wrong on winter long range are a lot of guess work too . But a very good september is possible too :)))))))))

Where?

Yes Paul I agree and the Jubilee Celebrations as well, our bbq is still on hold, my spring flowers lasted for ages this year but it seems as though we`ve jumped straight into autumn, only a few of the summer ones have survived all the wet and the ones that have are very straggly already...

wait til 24th ;)))

Hi Katarina looks like a fair bit of europe hopefully

Thank you! Although it won´t be Mallorca again, I am sure :))

I will pray for it Katarina ;)))) we had mass storms today !

Wow! I love storms. Did not see any for a month.

been scarce here too - 3 this year - last year 1!

So that´s why you are so impressed...lol.

yep ;)))

Today we had all, too. Huge storm, hail, whirlwind and broken trees. Now the air is fantastic! Full of ions :)))

we had that few weeks back - horrid :(

Each storm clears the air and each strong wind makes peeling to trees.:))

true yes :)))))))))))))))))
