A strange Spring
What with warms days, cold nights, no rain things are crazy.
Had to mow the lawn twice in the last week, it's growing so quickly (OK, I only just took the top off, but it soon regrew!) Had to get the hose out today to water all the seeds I planted in the veggie plot (peas, broad beans, parsnips (second lot), carrots sprouts and cabbage. Just hope the frosts are not too severe for the next week or so. Rhubarb is almost ready for a first picking (which is sad 'cos I go away for a month next week). Looking back, I've never picked any before the middle of April in the last 12 years that I've got records for. Over wintered lettuce plants (yes they survived the -14 degrees in the greenhouse) do not seem to be growing very quickly despite the high day time temperatures in there. The ones that I've transplanted out from the greenhouse into the open seem to be doing a bit better! Autumn fruiting raspberry plants only just started pushing out their shoots. No details, ut I think they are usually up to about 2 inches when the clocks go forward. Garlic is growing well, but onion sets took a long time to shoot, but are begining to move now. -- Roger T 700 ft up in Mid-Wales |
