is anyone else having problems with the typical summer?,we have now had over 4 weeks of what seems to be constant cloud,broken by spells of rain, we get a few minutes sun a day and my melons in the greenhouse,which were doing so well ,have not set a single fruit in the last month,it has been so damp that on friday,i got wet in the greenhouse,all doors and vents open,but no breeze,water dripping everywhere,and having to wear a jumper to keep warm,so we can tell summer is here,the rain has got warmer!!!!,but not that warm,going on hols soon,will have to wear shades if and when the sun comes out as we seem to be in dark ages at the moment

and the weather men only seem bothered about the london weather,paying lipservice to the rest of us,they say that there will be a heatwave ,and like an afterthought,"oh and rain inscotland/wales".london has its uses though,it keeps all the self-important moguls and polititions in one place,benefiting the rest of usLast edited by BUFFS; 27-07-2010, 02:07 PM.

to littleexperience,where you can grow toms in the g/house,you can do melons,just need a childs paintbrush to pollinate them,and a halfway decent summer(thats the hard part,last year was so wet,the plums only tasted of water),i think we are now victims of global wetting,although the boffins wont admit that, until london floods,it will always be global warming.....

In my part of London it's been cloudy (but bright) with the odd long spell of direct sun and frequent short showers. It's terribly warm, humid, very muggy. The aubergine outside has been growing crazily, but everything else seems to have slowed down compared with the gains made at the beginning of the month when it was sunny, hot and drier.
