It's funny how the weather likes to play tricks on us. We've had only a few frosts through winter and even then they haven't been all that cold. We're now in the first week of meteorological spring and what do we get the coldest night since last November.

| Temperature Summary for 2020 |
The coldest night of the year, so far, has occurred in the first week of meteorological spring. It's worth noting the mean temperature for the month so far of 3.7°C (38.7°F) is well below average. The last night colder than -2.6°C (27.3°F), was on 30 November 2019, the last day of meteorological autumn when the temperature fell to -3.8°C or 25.2°F.
However, Friday has been a mostly sunny day. It felt nice and warm in the greenhouse and after a little bit of tidying up I sowed our first seeds of the year. First sowings were made of parsley, Moss Curled, and lettuce, All Year Round. Each seed packet contains lots of seeds so I can risk sowing some early in the hope of some early lettuces and parsley but, if they fail to germinate I've plenty of left over seeds for sowing when the weather hopefully warms up a little bit.
The seeds have been covered with a propagator lid which I'm hoping will serve to keep the seeds a little bit warmer and protect them from any mice hunting for food in the greenhouse.
