A couple of years back Valentina Zharkova had coverage on how the Earth will be closer by a mill miles to the sun in our summers for about 100 years .

People will confuse it with global warming with out knowledge . That is happening now .

Winters will be cooler as she has expected .

Nice link . Would like to see something that would confirm or negate my observation . Are Hummers giving an early warning or is it an anomaly ?

I saw a hummer just yesterday in our perennial flower garden. Our gardens are just exploding with growth.

We had a four week dry spell and since then a nice gentle rain for a day once a week since.

My tomato plants are now 4 feet tall and growing to the sky. Early girls, Amish paste, San Marzano and Roma's all bursting out of their cages. I tilled some compost and peat moss in the ground for a second year and it seems to be a productivity boost. I'll do it annually.

Sadly some of the early corn plantings had a poor germination yield. Winter wheat looks good. My bet is corn and soy beans will be high this season.

I wonder if all the fires have had a migration effect? Would all that smoke stop their migration?

Hard to see the stars at night. Could be?

World's top climate scientists told to 'cover up' the fact that the Earth's temperature hasn't risen for the last 15 years ...

Scientists working on the most authoritative study on climate change were urged to cover up the fact that the world’s temperature hasn’t risen for the last 15 years, it is claimed.




A leaked copy of a United Nations report, compiled by hundreds of scientists, shows politicians in Belgium, Germany, Hungary and the United States raised concerns about the final draft.

Published next week, it is expected to address the fact that 1998 was the hottest year on record and world temperatures have not yet exceeded it, which scientists have so far struggled to explain.

The report is the result of six years’ work by UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is seen as the world authority on the extent of climate change and what is causing it – on which governments including Britain’s base their green policies.

Bob your a all star gardener . Some of the big gardeners around here spread cow compost around their tomato plants and claim it works wonders .

Have you ever used it ?

My plants went in early and i went in the hospital . Neglect caused the loss of much of my plantings .

Next year .Haven't seen a hummer in 3 years from seeing them every year . Have no idea about the smoke .

Hi 3bar,

Neighbor down the road 3 miles makes compost for the city of Plymouth (6 miles away).

They had a nursery and sold it off before last year but have the compost business.

So far it has boosted my raised bed's yields.

I did Black cow and peat moss for years, but their compost is much more productive.

Bird populations do seem to vary. Ducks went way down and now have come back.

I love seeing an occasional humming bird zip through our flower beds.

Neat little beasts for sure!

Bob
