The first week in April of 2007 brought us terrible freezes each evening for 6 consecutive evening and that ruined our gardens and our orchards. There were no cherries, plums, pears, apples or peaches that year. Then we had a summer of drought that finished whatever was left of everything. This happened not only to us but to many people through out the United States and other countries.

Some time during the winter as the galaxy re-aligned itself things changed with our global warming problem. Those changes were for the better. As the stars and planets changed positions and as Pluto passed behind Jupiter it caused a major change in seasons around the world while the citizens of our planet went about their daily business unbeknownst to them.

The weather conditions around the world accelerated with tremendous ice and snow through October and November of 2007. At Christmas time the crocus, daffodils and tulips were peeking up through the ground and by January of 2008 there were massive profusions of blossoms on trees all over the world.

Here in Kentucky we were able to put our vegetable and flower gardens in by mid-January and we were working furiously keeping up with the growth of our plants and keeping weeds under control though out February and March.

By April 1, 2008 every tree in the orchards hung heavy with juicy, ripe fruit. That day we had to hire about 30 people to come in and harvest the fruit and the vegetables in the gardens.

Great article, Arlene. Here in Arkansas we too suffered with lost plants, blooms, and fruits last spring due to the late spring freeze. We also lost many trees on our land. I don't remember this ever happening before. I missed making plum jelly last year and am hoping this year doesn't do the same. Our plum trees are covered with beautiful blooms and I have red and yellow tulips filling my flower beds. I'm praying for no late freezes this year.
Keep up the good work and have a good first.

Dear Sandra,
Thanks for reading my article.  We had a good year this year. We had tons of Italian plums, pears, and apples. Some cherries and some peaches.  Our two big plum trees were loaded, but I leave those for the birds because they are too high for me to pick.
Keep well.
"Tread the Earth Lightly" and in the meantime.. may your day be filled with...
Peace, light and love.
