For 2021-22, the ‘scientists’ were ‘predicting’ that we were going into a Solar Minimum - which means NO sunspots and a cooler than normal growing season on Planet Earth.
As a gardener, this data is important when choosing what to plant and when and how and why.
So, I’m screwed again by ‘scientists!’
WHY do I even bother? I’m going to rely on squirrels for weather data. Can’t hurt, might help.
No kidding. This is my first year taking it seriously, starting 20 different things from seed with heat mats and lights, potting up, planting out. I usually buy plants and seed potatoes and that’s it. Figured out my seed starting and planting out dates.
Mid June, 96-99 degrees when it’s normally mid to high 80s.
Been fun. /s
Only thing that saved me a bit is mulch and my 4pm shade trees.
I believe we have been in a solarminum for about 11 years and we are coming out it.
