back again

[BUFFS]

winters back, at 11am this morning it was just over 11deg, that's the temperature we should be getting at night, not day after day of darkness and rain, summer should not be composed of two and a half days of good sunshine, it seems it will be third year running that summer ends halfway through august, april was a lot warmer and that wasn't anything to write home about so looking forward to November as it will be probably warmer..

There's a band of cold temperature trying to move down over the UK as a band of hot is trying to move up. Sounds like you are already under the cold bit here in the SE we're under the hot! Phew.

Thunderstorms where they meet?

We had a few days of winter wind & rain,I was wearing a jumper yesterday & now the suns back & it's warm again. So this warm weather should gradually travel up north?

[BUFFS]

I am in the house, heating and jumper on to keep warm, drizzle has just stopped but need light on to see these keys properly, daft or what?...

Looked in the greenhouse and saw 60 degrees.

Then realised I was looking at the humidity.

By this time of year I really start looking forward to winter
It was 33 degrees here at lunchtime and it doesn't feel much cooler than that now to be honest!

Everything in the greenhouse is incinerated, much of the garden too....and the clay has been baked nice and hard to better facilitate flash flooding when this mini heatwave ends.

Its so muggy here this evening I'm praying for a really good thunderstorm and some rain!

I have discovered a bonus to all this cool weather in that it slows the growth/ripening of the greenhouse toms, and the taste difference is amazing, 6 different types of toms and they all seem to have better/stronger flavour, the mini plums are addictive as they are the size of a cherry, so you end up having "just one more" again and again.... today is sunny and warm so we are off out to enjoy it..

Your lucky you have any BUFFS, I have stunningly healthily looking plants but very few toms and what is there is are green!

They are about 5/6 weeks behind what they should be, and in a sheltered greenhouse, which didn't stop the melon plant dying of the cold, I still have one melon plant in the "warm" end of the greenhouse hanging on with 3 small melons nearly ripe..

I don't know if I e mentioned this before, but I don't have a greenhouse therefore my poor toms are outside! The plants are so healthy looking just very little fruit. It's been a rotten summer all round!

I grow some black Russian and arctic subplenty, or sub arctic plenty (if I remember the name right) outside, I have saved the seeds for a good few years, or any of the Russian toms as they seem to tolerate our poor summers better, and if they survive here they will grow anywhere...
