Unseasonal behaviour

[Wingy]

After seeing a thread on here, think it was titled “spring flow?”
I thought I’d post these pictures taken 2/11/22 north Manchester area. Strawberries flowering & fruiting / bumblebee foraging on honeysuckle
Thought it would be good to see other examples from around the country so please post photo / area and let’s see how messed up our climate is becoming

Im down in high wycombe and all the raspberries in my garden are doing the same, only noticed this yesterday. Mad World!

Dahlias have just sprung to life! The severe drought here severely stunted their growth and the flower buds withered and failed to open. However we've had lots of rain in the last fortnight and at long last we have blooms.

Roses in bloom and in bud at Mottisfont House last Sunday !

Yeah we have most of our roses in a similar situation.... wild flowers going mad as well.

It's been a pretty grim day here weather-wise. I think we've spent most of it in the clouds. I took a little trip around the garden this morning to see what was in flower though. Dandelions to start with, though mostly closed up because it was so dull.

Then some domesticated blackberries.

And at the end of one of the veggie beds, calendula and hiding under the leaves, nasturtiums.

One of the girls was working in the clary (and more calendula).

They were also working the borage, though I couldn't get an action shot.

There are flowers on the strawberry plants.

And in the polytunnel, huge amounts of flower on a cayenne pepper.

Back in the garden, more flowers on chives and rosemary.

And a bramble.

I'm still seeing wasps out and about too, and they don't all look like queens trying to find somewhere to shack up for the winter.

And of course it's Bonfire Night, and I'm still working outdoors in shorts and short sleeves.

One of our outdoor tomatoes decided to start flowering again last week and a tub of dahlias has some new buds on it

Just harvested some lovely outdoor courgettes this morning, rasberries still going strong, strawberries flowering.
Late autumn sown broad beans way too big for the time of year, still have tomatoes in the polytunnel.
St5ill pulling up carrots and beetroot.
I even had some edible olives this year!
Bees still coming and going, no eggs , no larvae , no brood but a ton of honey and pollen
I'm in W Wiltshire.
All we need now is just one staple crop failure and we are done as a species.

Ah, like us, you grow your toms in pots which sit on a reservoir which feeds and waters the plants via a wick. Great aren't they?

The jet stream is dragging warm air from the South over the UK, but colder air in a “loop“ to the West of Ireland.
Once it / if it shifts to the East, we‘ll all feel a sudden change…

Yes we've used them for a few years now and wouldn't want to be without them, they're brilliant!

Watched a wasp and bumble foraging on flowering rhododendrons between down pours today.

Can someone tell the jet stream to ‘do one’ and head north please? Hasn’t stopped blowing an absolute hooley and belting down here for about a week. So over this weather

Good grief, you mean all this mad weather is the sun’s fault? Don’t tell Trump…..

Well, we'd certainly have a lot less mad weather if the Sun wasn't there.
