The phenological summer began with the end of apple tree flowering, rye setting ears and, among migrating birds, the arrival of the swift. Development in nature this year is about one week in advance of average, there have been no droughts, damage from night frosts didn't occur, plants are really luscious and expectations of a good yield great at the moment.
 
The taste of summer:  there are ripe wild strawberries even in northern Estonia in sunny spots on the seashore. In southern Estonia there is enough for picking in a glass. The berries are big, and the taste is beyond words.
 
Plants in flower are truly many, and to make a chapelet of nine different flowers for Midsummer Eve should be no problem for anyone  - SUMMER!
