 As anyone given some thought recently about the 
lenght of their growing season? 
A few days ago, I had this discussion with some 
friends that have also been growing all their vegetables for many years and they 
feel as I do that the growing season has been getting longer in the last 
few years. In fact, they mentioned that they are now growing a second 
crop of certain vegetables and delaying planting some Fall vegetables 
into end of July!   
We have some birds that have extended their 
territory some 100 miles further north in the last 10 years... The 
mournful dove that used to live near the St-Lawrence and the Great Lake would be 
an example.  
Another example would be earwigs that are suddenly 
quite at home in zone 3 where they didn't seem to be able to get 
established before. Indeed, for many years they have been quite a plague in 
warmer zones and people used to joke about the earwigs being able to climb 
walls but not the Gatineau Hills...  
As anyone been keeping records? 
Hélène, zone 3 Hi Helene: 
I'm no expert at any of this 
really....... 
But I have noticed here in S. NH that within the 
past five years (this year being the exception). 
The Fall is getting longer or no fall and right 
into winter and the springs are starting sooner. 
My guesstimate would be that on both ends of the 
timetable we have gained an extra 30 days. 
I have to agree with you as from my neck of the 
woods would seem that is the case. 
Have a nice independence day all.... 
Not sure if they celebrate that in good ole Canada 
but the wish it there for whatever that may be. 
Best of growing, 
~Gianni
