Monday was another day of sunny spells and rather breezy. For all the sunny spells it wasn't particularly warm with the maximum temperature just making 17°C.
There’s no wonder our more tender vegetables aren’t growing very well considering the overnight temperatures. The last few nights have been quite cold for July with the last night (ie early Tuesday morning) down to 7.3°C, then 8.7°C, 10.6°C and 9.3°C for the previous three nights. The average for this stage of July is 14°C, so with cool days and cold nights is there any wonder tender outdoor crops refuse to perform?
It has to be said though that some of the garden plants are loving these conditions. This clematis is now looking at its best. We can’t remember the variety - any ideas?

Hi two years ago I've decided that I wouden't go on holiday to Madeira in the summer. so we stayed to stay at home to enjoy my garden.
ReplyDeleteGess what for the second year all we had is rain.Last year we lost all of are tomatos, and this year it looks as if its going the same way
Oh by the way great blog.
Certainly not guarenteed the sunshine in the UK. Out tomato plants have recovered well after a really slow start. Still think we've a long wait for some ripe ones though.
