Irvine valley - just east of Kilmarnock, so 'reasonably' mild I'm assured by other urglers! (I wonder what 'unreasonably' mild feels like) You'll soon find out, Scottish July is full of unreasonable weather. Chillies peppers and melons are strictly for the GH. Garlic is hardy and will be fine outide. Courgettes need to be hardened off, and planted outside after the last frost date. If you are well inland, I wouldn't plant them out till June 5th. With the first frost of winter arriving on June 8th, that doen't leave a very long growing season Exactly, that's why I think you'll find the GH better for toms.Ist September is the earliest first frost in my records btw - June 5th it is then....is that folklore, a metoffice 'best guess' or phenological observation? It's based on 20-yr records of first and last frosts in my Stirlingshire garden, (higher and colder than where you are) but is also the common date mentioned by other Northern urglers. (snip) |
