I suppose most plants will just be slowed a bit in their growth will they ?

But I do have some plugs fuschia ,pelargonium ,bacopa ,New Guinea bizzie lizzies .Not to mention my little area of alpines .

And my non germinating scarified ,top dressed reseeded grass .

Sob .

I'm no gardener but am despairing at tomorrow's 6 degrees in London. In April! Bah!

Yes, it’s ridiculous that we’ve only had a couple of warm and dry days. The garden plants and shrubs are at a standstill and the green house has germination but hardly any growth.
Not much hope for next week either.

Oh poo, I've just looked and it says tomorrow when I am off work will be heavy rain and 4°. I was going to weed heavily, set up the poles for my planned sweet pea wigwam, and get some perennials into the ground that are sitting waiting in pots.

Also more seedling planting out planned. I have bloody TRAYS of stuff to separate out.

Instead I am going to have to clean.

My weather forecast for tomorrow is sunshine all day. I think I may be living on Mars.

I’m thinking about giving up gardening and taking up slug and snail farming instead, FFS, I’ve got hundreds of them.

HotSauce I could offer a lovely mini sycamore forest for them to thrive beneath .

I put out nematodes last weekend, and I think it is helping, the delphiniums have finally got leaves, and they've been being nibbled back to stumps for some time.

The forecast in the SE is for it to be back to 20 degrees in time for the bank holiday next weekend Smile
