Think it's due to the exceptional weather we have had this year the plants don't know if they're comming or going

Hello Friends, hope you do not mind me butting in. I have noticed that there are loads of berries on the hawthorn bushes. Perhaps it is a sign of a good berry growing summer?
When I read "Holly Berries" I had to chuckle and I will tell you why in the hopes that it will bring a smile to your face.
In our previous home, just one and a half miles from where we now live, we planted several holly bushes, some male and many female and some plain coloured and many variegated varities.
We got the flowers each Spring, but were sady lacking on berries each year. Hubby was so upset about this as we had so many berries in our garden prior to that one, but from a centuries old holly hedge bordering that garden.
Regularly, hubby inspected our holly bushes and we re-checked the sex of the bushes and some names are far from descriptive. Still no berries.
Then, one day, hubby saw a RED BERRY ... Oh joy! He was so delighted that he fished out his glasses to take a closer examination and enjoy the moment.
Oh my goodness, it moved! It was a ladybird!

We've only got the one holly bush with lots of berries on so don't know about female/male bushes
