Back home and Freezing!
« on: May 10, 2010, 03:40:33 pm »
Returned from Florida yesterday. Had a fab time but I can't get over how cold it is for May. I know it was in the 90s there but is it me or is it cold for May?

Hello Helen Its been sunny all week in Gy a couple of spots of rain but none in the rain gauge.There was a - 4c yesterday at dawn did a bit of damage to the potatoes in Roy's garden next door didn't get my tubs in the yard though it must be sheltered I was worried about my Scarlet Emperors though,they are a meter tall now and curling round their supports.It's a beautiful morning again today.the temperature is around 11/12c mid afternoon and drying my tubs out I have emptied my rain water butt.

Mornin George been fine but cold the later part of the week here. Frost has ruined by spuds so putting some more in potato sacks today. None of my peas germinated so going to put some main crop peas into greenhouse today, they'll be late but oh well. It's a beautiful day here today so fingers crossed last of frosts gone now.
