Wednesday continued the few days of warm drier weather. Although nothing special Wednesday produced our warmest June day of the month with the thermometer nudging 21.6°C. The sunny spells of the last few days have given a little boost to the sunshine hours for the month, but unless the remainder of the month defies the forecasts for a return to dull and sometimes wet weather, June will turn out to be a very dull month.
Up to and including Wednesday we’ve had just 39.8 hours of recorded sunshine. In the dull and wet of April this year we managed 90.4 hours so June certainly has some catching up to do.
Our strawberries have started to turn and are providing us with some tasty fruits but we don’t think that they’re as sweet as usual and we’re wondering if this is due to the lack of sunshine during the ripening process. The good news is they still put the supermarket strawberries to shame.

What a depressing day it is today, I've got the light on in the room as it's so dark. Your strawberry plants look lovely and healthy, and they look to have a good number of strawberries on them too.
