It's April and I have to put lamps on...

Postby Workingman » 26 Apr 2024, 15:18

... at about 4 PM!. It is so dull and dark.

What on Earth is going on? We have had regular air frosts for weeks, and another tonight.

If this is global warming can we go back to the old stuff?

I still have to put the CH on some nights! Sick of it all.

We've had four seasons in one day today.
Dull and cold early this morning, warm sunshine at midday and torrential rain and hail stones at 3pm.
The clouds pile up every day, it's usually cold and it usually rains - every day.
Absolutely sick of it.

It's been dry here today; which is not what the forecast said it would do. I've got all seedlings potted on now and all, but some chilis and tomatoes, are in the greenhouse; I've kept just a few in the house as a precaution. It's now 6.13 and still light and only just - if you wrap up warm - warm enough to sit outside for a few more minutes and listen to the bird evening song.

so all in all not too bad.

But we were sat outside ;) ;)

It has been very sunny here today but chilly. Mind you, according to my FB memories, this cold weather is not unusual at this time of year.
