    A very chilly 2.5 Deg C earlier on this morning.

    The BBC weather app forecast a min of 6 deg C, in fact it's headline min was 7 deg C but hidden amongst the hourly forecasts was a 6 deg min. Hopelessly wrong again.

      The last few days have been cold and dull with a fairly strong wind and nothing higher than 54F. Still no rain - must be about 11 weeks now :sad:. The sprinkler is working overtime.

      This morning is chilly but the sun is shining and the forecast for the coming week is warm.

              Well we had a "ground frost":biggrin:
              Got out there before the sun was up and sprayed my frozen spuds with water, it seems to have worked, only one plant is showing signs of damage.;)

              Not sure what was going on but it was sunny all day here, been a long time since that has happened.
              Only 17c still cold out of the sun.

              Only 6 weeks till the days start getting shorter.:biggrin:
              Day length 15 hours 21 mins at the moment

                  I did wonder if i was going mad as i thought it was really nippy last night. Went out and gathered all new pots together next to the house and covered with a fleece. Glad i did it!

                        I'm not quite sure on this, but my digital thermometer registered a high of 25C today?

                        It's been pretty warm when the sun was out, but that seems a bit high.
                        Although on the drive home from work my car was registering 24C for quite a time till dropping back to 22 on getting home.

                          Another warmish day, the skies weren't quite as clear as yesterday so the sunshine was hazy at times. It clouded over around 6.30
                          Temperature reached 19'c/66'f hate saying this but really could do with some rain
