Weather


Never known a season begin as badly as this one. Things normally well on way by March. Not this year. Temperatures have only this week risen above 6 deg C (42 deg F) for any length of time. Still a bitter north-east breeze outside. No wonder plants don’t want to come out to play.

Holding fire till things warm up a bit. Best not to be in too much of a hurry. Surprising how things can catch up once warmer weather arrives. Still, hope things improve soon. Even Forsythia hasn’t flowered yet. Only Snowdrops and Crocus, so far (in this garden).
