Jolan,
Another very good mixed bag. I thought the 1st clue was the best. The last one took me ages. I could blame myself for that but disastrous harvest/barren means I feel more inclined to blame you. only joking,I think. Not sure the time thing really works but at least everybody can have a think about each clue. I can't speak for others but I can't resist looking at answers when they pop up.
