F'cst hot dry summer?

The Oak has been out for some time now, but still waiting for the Ash
to bread bud.

So expect only a splash.

There's an oak at the bottom of our garden, and there used to be an ash
at the bottom of our neighbour's garden, until they cut it down about
twenty years ago. My recollection is that the oak almost always came out
well before the ash, but that we certainly didn't almost always have a
dry summer.
