Went down the plot today to potter, and noticed two asparagus spears had popped up - I didn't think they were due for a few weeks yet!  Had to resist the urge to eat them, as I only planted one year old crowns last spring  :cry:

We've also got cabbage whites having it away on the wing EVERYWHERE, so I built my viromesh tunnel today - not as big as I'd hoped for, so the swedes and kohlrabi will have to rough it outside.

Carrots are poking through now, and fruit is forming on my greenhouse strawbs.  The fruit trees seem to be settling in nicely, too.

The plot neighbours are planting beans like crazy - several hundred plants.  They reckon I'm daft to wait, saying there's no way we'll have a frost now, but I'm not convinced - we were under a couple of inches of snow not so long ago!  So I figure mine will catch up - they did last year!

It's so dry here, the soil is holding water well though - my plot neighbours have been eyeing up my water system as they resorted to pulling water out of the river in buckets  :twisted: So I'm hoping for rain, watching the forecast like a hawk, and slowly realising that I have turned into my dad  :shock:

Very early.  At 7:30pm this evening, we still had 18degs C.  It would not be unusual for us to have had snow here in April instead!

Well you can have it all back, WG. We've had quite low temps and some snow the last 2 weeks, very unusual for us over here.  :cry:

... to the weather forecast at the weekend, your neighbours would have known there were frost warnings for this week.

Strawbs in flower (Cambridge Favourite).
Able to leave my Runner Beans outside at night with risk of cold showers/frost!
