You are joking I take it. It is practically snowing outside here today!
Visibility is too poor to see the Pennines and confirm if snow is
lying.

I sowed my runner beans today in pots in the greenhouse, in the hope
that in 6 weeks time (end June) they may be able to chance it outside.

6 weeks from sowing to planting?

I put my plants out yesterday, becayse they were getting too big
for the conservatory. They won't like it, but I hope they will
survive.

But you are a fair bit further south. It *is* actually sunny and warm up
here today, but yesterday it was on the edge of snowing and we had the
CH on *and* the wood burning stove running to keep warm.

The snow didn't lie overnight and was all gone even on the moors.

Glad I haven't got anything really tender planted outside yet.
More due to my inefficiency and other commitments than anything else.
