Saturday wasn’t brilliant weatherwise. The morning started full of promise with clear blue skies and cool. It soon clouded over and a cool blustery breeze developed.
After a poor summer the hope was for a good spell of weather into the autumn but that hasn’t happened so far with the cool wet weather of summer continuing. September will turn out to be the coldest for 18 years with an average temperature of around 13.0°C. September 1994 was the last time the average for the month was below 13°C. I suppose our last hope is for an Indian summer but I’m not too optimistic on it happening.
On the same day last year year the temperature soared to 28°C as September ended with some superb weather.
The poor weather hasn’t stopped our cyclamens from putting on a good display.

Yes it was a very poor summer.The only thing that did well was the borlotti beans.I've planted butternut and it only produced one,all the others dropped of,the tomatos lost half of them,and purple sprouting brocollli well the caterpillars are still enjoying them.
ReplyDeleteI think it's time to start planning for next year. Hopefully we'll have some better weather.
