Did anyone else apart from LizR and myself enjoy the summer we just had?

I became more and more depressed as I read the "Back to the garden at last"
threads. Now come on Ladies & Gentlemen!

Summer = Sunshine, heat, colourful flowers and long days - I smile and enjoy
.......... you lot ....... moan!

Autumn = Golden, a nip in the air and leaves on the ground lots of leaves on
the ground, annual floods - I smile and enjoy .......you lot.......moan!

Winter = Black and white, a chill in the nether regions and hard frozen
ground and long,long nights - I smile and enjoy ..........you lot.....moan!

Spring = Vibrant green and lengthening days, mud on you boots, lots of mud
on your boots, annual floods - I smile and enjoy .......you lot.......moan!


Long may the sunshine hot, Jeff

Winston Churchill in a reply to a nasty letter:
Sir, I am in the smallest room in the house and before me I have your
letter,
soon it'll be behind me.

For me this has been one of the best summers I can ever remember.
Newly retired, I have just taken up gardening and it has been a real joy to
be out in the sunshine watching the garden explode with life.
My vegetable crops have been prolific and in the borders my Penstemons in
particular have been dazzling.
The wildlife garden has been covered by clouds of butterflies and the ponds
have seen squadrons of dragonflies and damselflies cruising back and forth
laying eggs.

You can keep your cool, shady conditions - this is the kind of weather for
me!

And where was this "hot summer"?
I certainly didn't see any of it.
I never even took my winter jumpers off!

Similarly with the garden. Lots of problems with erratic conditions and lack
of sun - lots of rain.

Obviously I am in a different part of the country to the rest of you!

Where are you Mich? ...to have missed it completely.

I live in North London where the temperature was over 30 degrees and clear
blue skies on several days. During one of the hottest weeks I was in
Cornwall, staying near Truro, where the temperature was mid/late 20's and it
felt much cooler with cloudy skies and breezes.

Jeff, yes I agree. Each season is blessed with good things. And now
for a bit of personal indulgence. I will tell you the things I love
about each season.
Spring - Trees coming into leaf, bird song, the smell from the first
lawn mowing.
Summer - long days, beautiful gardens, trees clothed in their best,
the smells of a summer evening.
Autumn - dew on cobwebs, mist, the smell of a misty morning early, the
trees changing colour, autumn fruits in the hedgerows.
Winter - frosty mornings, snow - lots of it (pleeease God), blue
winter skies.

Indulgence over. :-)

I'm back in the garden now........

Summer = Sunshine, heat, colourful flowers and long days - I smile and enjoy
......... you lot ....... moan!

Summer + global warning = heat, brown and shrivelled flowers, sweat,
eggs horsed shun, thrips, horseflies, more heat, more sweat, heffalumps
wallowing in the pond.........

Long days is bearabubble. And I do like to see the frogs and warthogs
sitting in the reservoirs under some of the larger plant pots.

Autumn = Golden, a nip in the air and leaves on the ground lots of leaves on
the ground, annual floods - I smile and enjoy .......you lot.......moan!

Oh no I dozen. I just goes mushrooming wiv a spring - as you were -
autumn in my step.

Winter = Black and white, a chill in the nether regions and hard frozen
ground and long,long nights - I smile and enjoy ..........you lot.....moan!

I loves winter. When I were jbxvat in industry, I would take my holy
days in January, and go hiking and camping in the Highlands.

Spring = Vibrant green and lengthening days, mud on you boots, lots of mud
on your boots, annual floods - I smile and enjoy .......you lot.......moan!

You doesn't see me moaning about spring, except perhaps the way it
allows summer to sneak in.

Long may the sunshine hot, Jeff

May the sky cloud over and preserve me from heatstroke.

That's what I remember, lots and lots of sunshine, no wind and warm
evenings, but never hot :~) never thought I would be glad of Cornwalls cool
summers!

The bit that always seemed to have rain clouds over itg.

Seriously, some people class us as north Cornwall, others SE cornwall.
Around Bodmin Moor.

Well I know Cornwall has trees growing horizontally and the grass is always
green but I never realised the difference in the weather could be so much. I
was down there at Marazion in '76 and it was certainly hot there then.
Here in West London it's been a wonderful summer, only two or three days
when it rained a bit, otherwise sun and more sun, very hot, over 100°F one
day, and the bluest sky's I've ever seen in the UK.
As for the allotments, peas gave up completely, Runner Beans also didn't
like the heat but are now flowering well, spuds grew well but still a lot of
slug damage on some despite using Nemaslug. Best carrots ever (Long Red
Surrey), Tomatoes doing well too, brassicas growing well although
caterpillars are rife this year. So it's some wins and some losses.

Moan, me, never.
