Here in upstate, Southern Tier, I live in a river valley. We were saved from the frost until late October. due to the river fog. I picked the last peppers and beans near the end of October.
I had a loaded late pear crop, getting about 5 bushel from a relatively small tree. They were huge this year, the largest one weighing 1 1/2 lbs. They were so heavy that most fell off when ripe. I had enough mulch to keep them from damage. They are a late crispy variety. I still get Northern Spy apples from a tree over a hundred years old.
I planted a 2nd planting of potatoes in mid August and a 3rd in early September, getting a good yield from both.
Yes, we're having weather change. Global warming will increase. I predict that it will steadily get warmer and stormier, based on what I've read and the prophecies. The short haul will be devastating but the long haul good. Bring it on.
