spring is amazing isn't it. all new growth - dandelions never went away and some of the plants are still here like chicory. I wonder if they will flower again. Raining here but the Horsfields were up the other day all of them, greenhouse 28 degrees. rest are up but under lamps and eating - they didn't like their baths at all. Mary - you will know who hissed the loudest and longest !!
when do you think the sunshine will come?

Not this month at this rate. Probably not till May. Hope we can have a warm and dry summer and not a heatwave this year. It can rain through the night to keep our weeds and edible flowers watered. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Well, we’ve got a little wait until summer sun, the summer’s begun, Clare! 😉
It could be electrifying and it sounds like Sandy’s male is losing control so there might be a lot of summer loving going on... okay, can’t remember any more lyrics...

I think we’re going to see more rain this summer than the last two. I remember the last time we had a mild winter we had a terrible summer, so perhaps we need the cold snaps like the past two winters to get the summer heatwaves, though they’re not much fun after a few days are they?!
I reckon it’ll be a few nice days then a few rainy ones and so on rather than a long run with heat and no rain like we had in 2018 and 2019. I don’t much like grass that is parched and yellow and doggies that can’t be walked because the tarmac is so hot or feeling like I’m melting!

We’re already arriving at the spring equinox this week so halfway to midsummer! Not too long to find out what the weather has in store. Not that we can do anything about it anyway! 😂😂😂
