Season is about 3-weeks early in UK.
Owing to the climate change etc, the spring season has started about three weeks too early over here in the UK.
All the flowering trees are out in full bloom, Daffodils and Crocuses are also out in full bloom, and the birds are starting to sing at Dawn, none of this usualy takes place until about the end of march or the first week in april. So I am trying to take full advantage of the situation and sow my tomato seeds a bit earlier than usual, hoping that the prevailing light conditions will hold up long enough for the young seedlings to get big enough before the weather changes, there is still the odd night frost or two here and there. This climate change business is getting quite tricky to calculate every season, and I am often left scratching my head,looking at moon phase charts, checking the winter berries on the holly trees, and pure guess work- to try and crack the code. |
