Well, Col, judging by the recent 4 day forecasts, my money's on the
leather!

Dave

certainly there is an awful lot of fruit on hedgerow trees etc which the
old
timers round here claim means a bad winter.

Just how plants know this in advance I cannot explain and suspect that it
is
worth about as much as a met office 4 day forecast :-))


The plants in hedgerows are responding to conditions, nothing else. So by
that test, its been an ok summer...!
