Winter Goes Out On A High

Wednesday marked the official end of winter, going out on a high note, with a lovely sunny and warm day and the highest temperature of the year reaching 20.3°C or 68.5°F.

That made it the warmest day since 13 October 2018 when the temperature reached 22.6°C or 72.7°F.

On the plot there are now some signs of spring, as the first of the fruit blossom is starting to open. First of the tree fruit into flower is our Oullins Gage plum and our Honeyberry bushes are also just coming into flower.

Honeyberry
There is plenty of blossom on the honeyberry bushes, which I think are now on their last chance, as even though they produce plenty of flowers they never go on to produce any fruit. Maybe this year will be different!
