Be careful about what you wish for. |

Be careful about what you wish for. The weatherman this evening said something along the lines of the winds tomorrow would make it feel like October. But every year, just about now when the crab apple and cherry trees are covered in blossom, we always have a windy night. Blossom season here is about 48 hours long. I'm not moaning though. Caught up with all the ironing yesterday and got the grass cut today. The next few days will see the breakfast room redecorated just in time for the slightly improved weather over the weekend and some time outside.

Cheers, Jake Looking at Yr.no which is mostly right more times than the BBC for weather around here, it looks as if the weekend will have even more rain persisting down. Might even give me the motivation to cancel gardening and helping someone clear their overgrown plot into which they have just moved and booking the "learn Bridge in a weekend" course.......... at least i won't then care if it's raining in Chelsea! -- Janet Tweedy |

It has actually stopped now and is relatively clear but with dark clouds on the horizon. At least we don't have to worry about watering the veg patch now! -- Sunny and very warm here and the last bit of snow in my garden melted overnight{:-) Graham |

No sign of rhubarb yet. The tarragon is just starting to peep through. The chive clump is sprouting quite a bit, but that's to be expected. I haven't seen a dandelion yet and they're the first things to really show. Most of the lawn is still brown and only starting to green up in the sunnier spots. The hares are losing their winter coat but are still largely white. And is there honey still for tea? Graham |

My geography is not what it should be but I always think of very cold conditions and short summers. Good luck and best wishes. Baz Here, on the edge of the Prairies, about 80k from the Rockies and at ~3500' we get about 110 frost-free days. At the moment my lawn is mostly brown and it is normal here to de-thatch it (scarify) every year. We had a mild winter this year and I don't think it went below about -25C. The previous year we had several bouts of -30 to -35C nights. The ground freezes down at least 2', in fact building regs demand foundations for decks etc are at least 4' deep. All houses have basements. Bedding out plants are traditionally planted the 3rd w/e in May, a long w/e when the garden centres are crowded. I checked the rhubarb and it is just pushing through. Soft fruits do OK but apple varieties are limited to crab/ornamental and a couple of non-commercial varieties bred for these conditions. A friend grows sour cherries that are ready for picking at the end of August. A few years ago, I tried to grow scarlet runners but they failed to set before the first frost in Sept. The following year we had snow in the middle of August so I gave up on them. The mayday tree (Prunus padus) at the front is now about to leaf out. 4 minor branches are infected with Black Knot fungus and I need to get them cut out (I've hurt my shoulder so can't do it myself). I must try and spray the redcurrants this year before the aphids take over. Graham |

That said, even the dog won't go out this morning. The rain is lashing down and shows no intention of ceasing. I'll have to take the grandson to look at the river again today. He loves to watch the water and there's certainly plenty of it, at present. There's little danger of drought round here! -- One pair of friends moved to just north of Vancouver and another to Vancouver Island. Winters there are cloudy, drizzly and depressing. Besides, I have 2 grandchildren here! Graham |
