Wow. 300 days of rain! That's amazing. We usually have a wet winter (rain/snow) and usually get a substantial snowfall total. Our temps are very extreme: in one year it is not unusual to see -10F in the winter and then 100 in the summer. Plants have to be tough! Climate change here has been affecting (in my opinon in least) the "timing" of our seasons. It seems as though winter is actually starting a little earlier with snow and cold in November and spring starts later (snow hangs on into early April sometimes). But then, once the spring weather comes in, it gets very hot very fast....it's not unusual to see 90s in May. I have given up trying to grow tulips...they do well, but once they bloom and the hot weather comes on, they melt. If I see a week of nice tulip display it's lucky!
I am not "country" I am "landed gentry."
