Shhhh I hear it may be true...... Don't tell anyone. Mild weather may be on the way. Dare I put my dahlia tubers in the raised beds?

It's definitely on the way, it'll be here by July apparently...

I'm a born optimist - I'd put them in and

but there's probably a more scientific method around measuring soil temperature and day length!

Scientific methods take all the fun out of gardening. Trial and error for me. This Saturday they are all going in.

Does that mean I should be putting mine in too? I don't think I dare. Not least because I've not worked out where they're going. Yikes. I don't feel ready $:-\$ . It just all feels too sudden

nearly every year for 6 years the summer has come and gone in May.......So that's the pattern now, not sure how many of my fruit trees with produce fruit as the chickens stole my apples and no nuts so far, our Cherry come plumb tree had tons on one year but a handful on last and none on our per tree...I have not grown veg for years, we did think about it and will do if we get a suitable house.....anyway, hope we do get some heat, my legs have not been out for ages

If my feet are still cold, which they are, then its not warm enough to plant anything out yet.

We got 2 wks in March last yr (nr Ayr), had a great tan! One wk in August (I remember cos camped out with boys and friends in garden for son's B'day). That was it! We must be due a half decent yr. If this is global warming or the 'greenhouse effect', someone named it wrong! I was in a t-shirt with no thermals in garden yesterday!

Suppose that's it for the rest of the yr now.
