There seems to have been masses of berries this year: rowan, sloes, hawthorn, pyracantha and I've always thought that that was an indication of a harsh winter ahead - or is that just an old wives tale? |
I always thought that you got a good amount of berries if you had ideal conditions in the spring and summer before and berries are only the atractive casing for the seed within.
Good conditons early=loads of berries=loads of new plants when eaten and digested. Not forward planing by nature, just nature being clever as usual.
See. thats why its mother nature. only a woman could be that organised!
