Mostly grey with a cold wind, the sun was out for about an hour mid-afternoon - lovely in the greenhouse then 

[rosiecider]

grey cold north easterly wind 7 degrees this morning had to fleece my poor courgettes ans sweetcorn

[mumofstig]

I brought everything tender in from the greenhouse because MetO forecast a low of 3C! It was in fact 7C 
Never mind better, safe than sorry.

Today 11C, cloudy and that horrid gusty wind from the North. Not nice at all - everything seems to have stopped growing after the early start. No bees seen for the last few days, hope they'll be ok.

My weather is just about identical to yours Mumofstig, looks like it could rain at any minute, but doesn't 

[Paul Plots]

Very similar here arh and Mum...

It was a bit brighter earlier (felt the sun's warmth for half-an-hour or so) but now low light cloud and that blessed NNE wind still wafting the washing.

Left beans in pots out, even planted out a very few climbing French beans (surrounded by plastic sheets to keep the wind off).... all ok as night time temperatures keeping up.... here's hoping for a drop in wind and break in cloud and then some overnight rain!

Could be worse  ..... may need to earth up the spuds again or plonk on some grass mowings if frost threatens (and can be taken seriously).

bright with a biting wind.
hope the wind will keep the frost off

[Paul Plots]

Pleasant in the sun.... and that came in short waves.

Chilly this evening.

A little frost on the strawberry leaves this morning lucky only a couple of flowers opened up luckily and now blue skies 12 degrees

I've never covered or protected strawberry plants from frost..... Should I have done so?

They always seem as tough as old rope coping with the freeze through winter and scorching sun in summer. usually have good crops - no frost protection for flowers ever. 

Rain tomorrow 

[mumofstig]

Yes a late frost can spoil the flowers (the centres go black when that happens) but they usually just grow more 

Back to weather.. overcast but that horrid wind has gone so it feels warm and humid (oh no! Not blight weather  ) swiftly moving on, 8C overnight in the greenhouse

It's raining yippee 🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧

Cheers HH

[Goosegirl]

After an early morning wind, it went still and humid and now the rain's come - deepjoy!

[Paul Plots]

Rained yesterday - could really be called rain.

Rained a little today.... every little helps. 

Now the weeds will begin to grow!

This morning's band of rain only just clipped us here - 0.8mm! 

A narrow band of showers, which could have some heavy bursts mixed in, is showing up on the rain radar in the Leicester area, and it appears to be heading in this direction - fingers crossed.

Moi, rain obsessed?

[jaydig]

Wet, warm and wonderful!
