If it was just that, Annie's plants would be growing WAY earlier than mine -- but instead, everybody waits until fall, and then gets going.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433418903218452909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24631933.post-73852326314073932402010-10-06T21:47:10.216-04:002010-10-06T21:47:10.216-04:00Interesting post!

One of my good friends here is a master gardener who passes along all sorts of updates they receive to me... and one of his particular interests is the whole idea of phenology.

Like, after X number of hot days above X degrees, they know that fall is right around the corner and it's safe to start coming out of the ground?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24631933.post-71603855866376545322010-10-06T10:07:48.217-04:002010-10-06T10:07:48.217-04:00Wow...plants continue to amaze me...great post!Wow...plants continue to amaze me...great post!scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.com
