The soil on my plot is 11degC, just in case anyone is interested. (Got a new thermometer)
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

At what depth - is your lottie on top of a tube station ???   I'd get a second opinion if I were you.

sounds about right to me - it's been lovely and warm in the south of late...
Gardening organically on chalky, stony soil.

5deg C here - and that was in our bedroom!
Outside air temperature is 1deg C
Soil temperature at 6 inches deep is 2deg C

Is it any wonder that my rosemary plants look as if they'd rather be somewhere else!

I was out with a school group to an irish peat bog last week.

(& I do hope you're not all slowly buying these bogs in plastic bags as compost ;) )

Anyway bog temperature was about 6 degrees celcius.  Probably lower now as we had snow last night.

Plant plenty.  Celebrate success.  (Let selective memory deal with the rest.)
