Summer is coming

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Can't promise you for how long and there may be some rather rainy hiccups mid week but at long last it is looking much warmer through the week (bit chilly on the tips of Scotland mind you!)

Looks like good growing weather

[petunia]

Ah, warm weather at last! Not sure the summer bedding plants will wait any longer, sitting in the greenhouse- they need to be out and in the ground!

[droitwichmummy]

petunia I took the plunge and started planting out yesterday - the poor plants looked so desperate to be outside!

[catinthehat2]

please say you're not just toying with us...

....I've been for my run into a headwind all the way round

It's going to chuck it down later

It's not particularly warm

[petunia]

droitwich- I keep thinking 'maybe now's the right time' and then it turns cold again! I think the middle of this week, I might start planting them out.

[droitwichmummy]

Go for it petunia, I have been playing fast & loose with remembering to close my little greenhouse at night and everything has survived although it does depend where you live

[petunia]

Actually not that far from you; I'm in Leicester! I'll probably start on them this afternoon- it's nice out there, too nice to stay indoors!

It's grim today. Fine drizzle and chilly.

I forced myself to go out for 20 mins just now and pulled up some brambles and topped up a new planter with soil. Now back inside with tea and biscuit .

Ysterday was warm and I got loads done, even mowed the garden.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

I am honestly not toying with you. It does look much warmer as we go through the week.

hard to believe looking at the pouring rain....

[catinthehat2]

What a weird old day it's been, changing every 5 mins. I hope it decides on this warmer thing, cos all my stuff IS going out tomorrow whether it like it or not.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

I put mine out today and have been caught out by the ferocity of the deluge. poor plants - hope they are ok.

never rains but it pours...

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

heavy rain warning for this evening

silly silly weather.

[bibbitybobbityhat]

At long last!

FA Cup Final day is my traditional day for planting up my window boxes and hanging baskets. But haven't yet done it because I haven't even got round to looking at plants in the garden centre. Hasn't even begun to feel like the right weather for it ...

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Mind you, we are having a thunderstorm right now! (London).

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Looking pretty good this week. potentially hot at the end.

next week. some models hinting to a return of the north westerlies. cold ashy sort of weather.

lets hope they are wrong cos if they are not, that is it. I am packing my bags and emigrating.

[Themasterandmargaritas]

What does hot mean exactly? I think your hot equals the start of my winter.

[IMoveTheStars]

oh no... we're away next week and desperately hoping for some nicer weather.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

up to 25C, which compared to a max of 9C for us last week is bliss!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

make the most of the weekend.

next week looks crap at the moment. much much colder with frosts possible and north easterlies.

stupid weather.

[PestoEatsBallotPapers]

Any idea what the weather outlook is for Plymouth for half term Kitten?

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

long way off still (assuming its the week of the bank holiday) - but as far as I can see, it doesnt look very warm I'm afraid.
will have another proper look later, off out now.

[gingertoo]

Hang on, that can't be right! I specifically requested warm and sunny weather for the half term...

[PestoEatsBallotPapers]

Yes, that's the right week. I don't have any high expectations tbh, just thought you might have inside information

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Still looking cold with northwesterlies (need to hope volcano quietens down) and perhaps wet too.

[gingertoo]

Oh Dear!
Better go and google some wet weather activities...
