Sunshine

Sunday was a gloriously sunny day. It's a sign that spring is on its way as my weather station recorded 5 hours of sunshine, the highest since 7th October 2010. As spring approaches more of the garden receives sunshine as the sun gets higher in the sky each day. The clear blue sky meant that come late evening the temperature was already below freezing so the fleece in the greenhouse will need to do its job.

The potatoes chitting in the greenhouse are now starting to produce strong shoots and our variety of new fruits and vegetables in pots, for an early start to the season, are also growing well. Spring is definitely on its way. Just mustn't get carried away sowing seeds just yet as we can still have some very chilly nights.
