    Bright and breezy so far today, and several degrees milder than it was yesterday.
    Total rainfall measured in my rain gauge so far for April is 83mm which is not far short of double the long-term averages. Not that I'm complaining, once we get into spring and summer I'd rather have more rain than less.

          Yes was thinking of taking the frame down over the BOP etc. and get the citrus plants out of the greenhouse, the bananas have been uncovered for over a month now.
          Been slowly moving pots out of the garage for a while now.

                  Dull, cool and quite windy. Tomorrow is forecast to be 18c and sunny! Maybe I can move stuff out of the GH so that I can then get in it. But wait till tomorrow.

                    Its sunny periods with a gusty wind, thermometer in the shade says 17c, but it feels colder than that, and to think this is supposed to be good and what passes for spring these days.:frown:

                      Indeed @pete, the BBC didn’t bother to forecast those gusty winds. I was prepared for it because wetteronline.de said 60kmh/40mph. I just managed to finish my garden day at 12 when the wind speeds increased.

                          Its not been that windy here, but its the temperature of the wind that makes it feel worse.

                              Breezy, a lot of cloud around and despite that the sun has shone for most of the day. 13C/55F

                              Oak before Ash here and the crows are nesting high. Hope for a decent summer maybe?
