| Temperature Records 09-11 April 2019 |
During the last few days it's been chilly by day, with temperatures below average, but we really could have done without a frosty morning. On the plot the pear and plum trees are in full flower and a frost will most likely have damaged the blossom reducing the potential crop.

In the garden at home our cherry tree is also in blossom so this rather late frost has come at a particularly unwelcome time. For the record the last below zero temperature in April was on 10 April 2016 falling to -0.6°C or 30.9°F.

A late frost. How sad for the fruit trees. You were quite the wise owl to hold off planting outside
ReplyDeleteIt's getting colder as we move further into spring. No rain for 4 weeks now but cold. Very odd weather for us.
