The pesky birds aren't satisfied with the food and water they get put out each day, or re-filled several times a day in the case of their bird bath, they have to turf out our trays of germinating sweet williams.

Note for Saturday 26th
Warm and sunny
It’s just possible that this will be the best spell of weather this summer.

At the moment with the forecast for the fine weather to continue into next week June looks set to be warmer than average but it looks likely to turn out to be another month with rainfall well below average.

We visited Nunnington Hall situated in North Yorkshire by the River Rye to view the gardens and Bempton Cliffs on the coast to see the nesting seabird colonies.

The plot really does need rain now. It’s difficult to dig planting holes in the bone dry soil as we found out yesterday planting peas and squashes.

Note for Monday 21st
Sizzling Solstice
The morning was cloudless. In the afternoon some patchy cloud developed but it was still a beautiful day.
Our plot yesterday afternoon showing the light cloud cover. I don't know the variety of rose which has been glamorising our compost heap for many years now.
Monthly Temperature Comparisons
I’ve changed the temperature comparison charts from weekly to monthly. I think this gives a better comparisons of past and present than the weekly charts. The charts below to compare our monthly temperatures this year with those of last year and the coldest and warmest temperatures for each month. The figures are mean temperatures for each day.
