Not this phase only happens every 500,000 years there about from what I've read and we are overdue. And certainly not a pole shift. 

Then you need to read some "hard" science Bill.  The Earth's magnetic pole flips every few thousand years to many millions of  years.  Not approximately every 500,000.

Now back to some actual gardening.

Actually if the earths pole was to flip as you state this would cause catastrophe akin to Armageddon. We actually do have pole shifts but only slight a few degrees as the earth wobbles on it's axes. You assume I don't understand the science actually I have studied this on and of since I was 18 I'm 46 this year.

There are many theories so it is not right to discount one which doesn't fit with others that's how we learn and develop our understanding. By the way Scientist always discount stuff or substitute stuff for which they don't understand so what is "Hard Science"?

Now back to Gardening It was overcast today and I laid some flags.

I can see when something has run it's course.

Thank you for your feedback

Great Bill, but this is a gardening forum and there are many other forums more suitable for this kind of thing.

DD actually answered a response to another in which he stated that it is still winter I expanded on that by saying that as people use time and calender which is man made people incorrectly make an assumption that spring summer etc is late early I also referred to the Sun as a contributing factor in the weather changes which I felt was actually in relation to gardening I was only attempting to bring a practical theory into the equation.

It appears that I should stick to asking questions and accept the answers withough question.

I feel extremely welcome.

Yes, but what did you do on the plot today?

[billathome65]

I laid flags and planted a Raspberry cane hope that's the right term? Oh and I through a worm on the area I want to grow veg. 

[plum crumble]

d*mned if I can understand anything on the last 2 pages of this thread!!

I'm quite mystified too.... I think it's got muddled up with what we did on our plots. 

I did try suggesting that billathome65 start a new thread rather than fill this one up with a rather curious obsession with sunny cycle rides. 

After all I'm doing my best not to keep on about cycling. Guess I'm being ignored as usual 

Perhaps a new thread about sunny spotting all of your own Bill? Just a thought.  :blink:

Nothing! Zip! Nada!
Wet Wet Wet and no Marty in sight!

Finally I actually did some gardening! Cleared the bean and salad plot .... I'm afraid it has to be the same plot every year as it's the only really sheltered bit.

Then I started on the main veg plot. The potato area was good because as I lifted last year's spuds I dug each new space and removed stones. Then I lifted the last parsnips and quickly encountered a bed of stone  . Where do they keep coming from! This is the area I had in mind for new potatoes this year 

I departed with creaking back and knees

Ground still too wet here, but the rhubarb has sprung into life(2nd year) psb is colouring up and onions garlic and broadbeans are looking healthy.
I just have to learn to be patient.

[flitwickone]

limed the brassica area 3 rhubarb plants said hello to me they must like the manure i dumped on them in november    then a helicopter gunship    flew overhead which was surreal maybe they are after the pidgeons 

[mashbintater]

The soil is just too wet to even weed, let alone dig!    

[tontom]

Wont go down to lottie today  cos it's too wet after a morning of rain , very frustrating . Can i get a refund off my allotment charges for every day it rains or snows and  keeping me away from from my lottie ?

[archibtbm]

found another pane out on the greenhouse, so another quick repair.....trip to glass shop for some spares I think.

Planted out the garlic cloves into a raised bed....soil was nice and easy thanks to the rain
