My plants are confused, is this a problem?
It's been unusually warm where I live this fall and I think it's confused my plants. My pear tree is has a few branches that have blossoms on them and my lilac bushes are getting leaf buds.
Do I need to do anything about this (remove the buds/blossoms) or are they fine the way they are?
But will letting "nature take it's course" kill/shock them when it freezes?

KICK BACK...........& have a glass of wine.
Plants are usually equipped to cope with stress much better than we gardeners are.

That kind of thing happens here almost every year and the worst that happens is the buds/leave fall off. All of our plants start blooming again as soon as the weather warms up.

I think the plants will survive in spite of our worries. I would "let nature take it course". The worse that is going to happen is the new flowers and leaves will drop off as the weather gets cooler.

it's a natural occurance and will not hurt the plants..... the cause is light and temperature, that , in fall, mimics light and temp in spring.... not all the plants fall for it... but those that do are just eager to get going, it would seem..... I've had dogwood bloom in October, and lilacs blooming in early Nov. here in zone 8....even some forsythia jumps out in October.... it's never the whole plant and it hasn't harmed any of mine.....

Animal existence is common for people to narrate to, vegetation are very different. Animals instruct thoughts, vegetation do not, animals bleed, vegetation do not, etc. additionally, we would desire to continually consume something and we can't consume rocks or get all of our food from sunshine and rain. The belongings you pronounced approximately "we'd be nowhere without meat" is like asserting "we'd be nowhere if Noah did not positioned those animals on the ark." you're in simple terms making a assertion and you would be able to't instruct that's actual. regardless of if it substitute into, it does not make any difference to me. i believe going without meat is indicative of a non violent way of existence. So what if our previous substitute into violent, humanity can pass to a greater non violent and sort state of being. i don't would desire to hold to meat eating anymore than I nevertheless choose the crib I slept in whilst i substitute right into a baby. you would be able to additionally say white people could be nowhere if it wasn't for stealing land and making slaves out of persons. Does that propose we would desire to continually save doing it?
