So far March has been a disappointing month weather wise. It started off cold before turning cold and snowy. The last week has been on the wet side. Temperatures for the last week have been all over the place. Read more...

February brought an end to meteorological winter but March has started on a cold note. It certainly has been a very cold start to March. Most news bulletins about the weather have started off stating that Wednesday was the coldest day of the year. However, in our case that isn’t true as that particular record is still held by 22 January 2023 when the temperature fell to -5.9°C or 21.4°F. The temperature on Wednesday fell to -3.4°C or 25.9°F. Since then in the early hours of Saturday morning, the temperature fell to -3.6°C or 25.5°F. Read more... Copyright: Original post from A Gardener's Wea ..read more

February brought an end to meteorological winter but March has started on a cold note. February itself was a record breaker. It was the mildest February of the last 14 years and also the driest in the same period. Read more..

I think some of our seed potatoes have been saved by this blog post. I decided to write this week’s post about how I’ve been contemplating moving our potatoes from the sack they’ve been stored in in the garage to the greenhouse. Read more..

It’s been a windy few days following the arrival and departure of storm Otto. The main storm itself didn’t last all that long but with a highest gust speed of 36mph it made it into my listing of windiest days of the last 14 years based on gust speed alone. Read more...

We’ve always had trouble growing red onions. We had always grown our onions from sets and red sets had never performed as well as the brown ones. They’d be grown alongside one another and given the same treatment so we could never decide exactly what we were doing wrong. When we harvested our usual poor crop of red onions in 2020 we decided we’d had enough of trying to grow reds and we’d stick to the brown varieties in 2021. Read more..

Since the middle of January, we’ve had very little rain so both the garden at home and the allotment have started to dry out enough to consider doing a little bit of early gardening.  Read more..

We’re almost to the end of January and, unless something unusual occurs during the last few days of the month weatherwise, it will be a fairly average January both in terms of temperature and rainfall. A couple of years ago now we changed our method of storing carrots over winter. Our usual procedure for storing root crops in general over winter was to cover them with straw. Read more...

It’s been a wet start to the year. In a bit of a break in the weather on Saturday afternoon we risked a visit to the allotment to harvest some vegetables. Sue covered our visit in her blog post here. At the risk of spending more time at the allotment than we really wanted we made our first allotment video of the year. Read more...

The weather at the start of the new year had been on the miserable side. Rather than any nice, cold, crisp, sunny days, all we get is showers or longer spells of rain as one rain band after another comes in from the Atlantic Ocean. The upside is that the weather is on the mild side so at least the central heating costs are less than in that spell of cold weather in December. Read more..
