Summer is here with a vengence. The temperatures have been in the 90s for the last few weeks of May and that is entirely too hot.
When you have lived in South Florida, you know what being too hot too early means-hurricanes. You may be wondering how you can predict hurricanes by the outside temperature. If the spring brings extremely hot temperatures real early, there is a tendency for the Atlantic Ocean to heat up very early. Hot ocean water makes water spouts off the African continent start to become the starts of a tropical depression.
You may be thinking I am a pessimist, but I distinctly remember the spiders coming in early in June last year. Organic gardeners know that the bugs and wildlife have built in weather forecasting equipment. Somehow they know what the fall and winter will bring. Heavy acorn production, spiders all over the place early in June, squirrels building massive nests and extremely hot weather lead itself to a very cold winter of 2010-2011.
Well, here we are again. It is hotter than Hades and most of us think we have died and ended up there all ready.
What is this winter going to be like?
