Where I live, on California's Central Coast, I like to say that we don't really have weather - just climate. It's mild and pleasant pretty much year-round. There is some seasonal variation; however, it doesn't really seem to map to the traditional 'spring, summer, fall, winter' paradigm. Here's some average climate data so you can see what I mean: (and you can also see what I've been shopping for online, based on the ad at the bottom )
With people talking about Labor Day and "fall" coming up, I'm wondering if that really applies to my trees right now. Based on the data above, nothing really changes here until November . . .
A few of my deciduous trees went semi-dormant during our recent summer heat wave (still only double digits), and a couple even shed leaves and are pushing new buds now. It seems to me like I'll have a little 'second spring' and another couple of months of growth. Does that sound reasonable, or is it wishful thinking?
Anybody else in CA have a good definition of what the more traditional seasons actually mean in terms of the calendar in a mild Mediterranean climate?
