@DavidPB I feel like it’s the farmers and gardeners who are really noticing the plant growing impacts of climate change.
If you are interested @jblue is suggesting using #ClimateChangeGardening to share impacts and ideas about how to adapt to what will be our uncertain weather going forward.
#climatechangegardening #climatechangegarden #ClimateDiary In zone 6a. This year has been tough on the garden. Spring heat while peaches were in bud, 87°F, left 3 tree with only 4 flowers between them. Miraculously 2 peaches grew. The summer has been massive amounts of rain and humidity. Blueberries and pears love it but nearly everything else has rotted. Overrun with voles and squirrels last year. This year only a couple squirrels but more rabbits. Also pines have tons of pine cones.

@jblue we’re gradually trying to grow more perennial veg to try and avoid difficulties with drought in the spring making the annual plants hard to establish, and hopefully able to endure summer drought/downpour better too.
On the other side, we mulch to add organic matter to the soil, and add rock dust for the minerals and to bind to carbon out of the atmosphere (Enhanced Weathering), Waterbutts reduce mains water use & run off. A pond and flowers benefits biodiversity. #ClimateChangeGardening
