What is happening with our climate?<BR/><BR/>Those sultanas do look yummy and I'm sure the birds in your garden are enjoying them very much.<BR/><BR/>BTW I started working in my garden in January. It was the second hottest January since 1706.

This year we are having a dry and abnormally warm winter. Only 3 years ago we had a very, very dry year and a lot of forest fires in the summer.

Some of the news was bad because plants traditionally grown in England will find it too hot. But some of the news was good because many more heat-loving vegetables will be able to be grown.<BR/><BR/>I admire the English for addressing the problem and looking to the future.
