(46,192 posts)try to grow something like tomatoes in late spring/early summer something interesting happens...
the plant quickly sprouts in the increasingly hot days of May and June and then after growing just a little, stays green but simply doesn't grow anymore.
too much heat.
also worked with cotton, of all things, one of the most heat tolerant plants.
we simulated increased heat from global warming and were told the results of that was the flowers dropping right off the plants.
you can't just change the weather and expect to do things the way you did before. first, when climate is changing, you don't know whether you will be getting the new pattern one year or the old pattern. second, you don't really have the experience doing things to fit the newer pattern should it actually happen in a given year.
something to consider.
