Wow. Interesting story. I don't know where the climate is headed, but it seems to be more and more extreme. You're experiencing such an interesting phenomenon. We had the biggest flooding in hundreds of years last year, then the coldest winter in a long while and now a very hot and dry summer. I see it as you do, unpredictable. I am choosing hardy and adaptable species that can handle stress.
What are you cultivating?
I'm starting to market gardening: my largest production is that of potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots and garlic.
