The Gloom Goes On

The miserable gloomy weather has persisted through Wednesday and Thursday again without any hint of brightness. Thursday has been a little brighter and the sunshine or rather brightness chart below shows the only reason I’m reporting this.

As you can see Thursday has been marginally brighter but compared with the rest of the month it could be so much better.

We made the effort to protect the roots of our potted outdoor fruit trees and moved our osteospermums and hydrangea into the cold greenhouse in readiness for a cold spell due to arrive on Friday night. We had five small figs on our Brown Turkey plant in the greenhouse. They don’t seem to have grown much all summer but they looked a little purplish on the outside and felt a bit soft so I decided to pick them and see how they tasted. All five weighed in at just 75 gms.
