Whats Your Weather Like April 2023

Sun is up, 14c, going to 23c, getting back to normal.

 

A watery weak sun at the moment. The ground is sodden with last nights heavy rain .
The Sussex soil is so wet it must be difficult to sow grain for Winter wheat or plant tatties for this year .
Gonna be another challenging one I fear ,

heavy showers and very gusty wind

Planting spring wheats/barley is one crop you can get away with just throwing it in with a fert speader and it will grow but with all the computerist machiney will make it harder tramlines etc for spraying/ferting won't be there so will have to go back to the old ways of doing it

spuds will be hard to plant as machines today like clean dry soil to work
farming is having to go back to the old breeds and old ways etc we've gone full circle and now we have to reinvent the wheel

 

Get that scythe sharpened up jiffy.

 

It's hanging up in the garage ready and it does get used but i'm not as fit as i used to be so a bit harder to use

Just had a heavy down pour of hail, all the bullocks in the field legged it to try and find shelter but there wasn't any

 

A little like Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts, Wind, Showers & Sun. 10c in the summer House.

 

Wind speeds have dropped a bit now but still remains pretty grim out there.

 

Just started to rain and getting some really strong gusts of wind with it, not been too bad up till now.

 

Some early sun and light cloud with gusty winds but now heavy showers and gale force winds around 65mph.

 

like yesterday we started off the day with clear blue skies & not a could to be seen! But a couple of minutes after 2pm we had a sharp light shower. Wind very strong still.
.

 

At least it's now brighter and drier.
Too windy still to go on a damage hunt.

 

Had a cloudy/sunny/breezy afternoon out for lunch, 23c. but very nice. Did not put cardi on. still overcast and breezy 21c now.

 

I think it's the worst day we have ever had, tis calmer now

The bullocks in the field were looking at me and asking for me to open the gate so they could go back into the shed tis sad to see them like that!!!
