Sunny but cooler


The sun shone all day but with a cool breeze we didn't reach the warm temperatures recorded last week. It's amazing how quickly things progress in a week at this time of year. A week ago our Conference pear tree showed few signs of growth but it's now in full flower.
I'll have to make a start on sowing now we're back from our holidays. April is a really busy month for getting lots of vegetables and flower seeds sown. After a really mild March I'm half expecting April to be a bit of a let down weather wise. A bit like last year we got some good weather early on in the year but then summer never really materialised.
Heavy rain is forecast for Tuesday with the possibility of snow. I don't really want the snow but the rain will be most welcome for the garden and the plot.

  1. It's looking like rain here at the moment, though I don't know whether it will or not. My cherry tree has just come in to flower.

  2. It's miserable here too. No rain so far!
