I wish this weather would make up its 'bl**dy mind!
Freezing at night 70° + during the day and what happened to the April showers?
I have about 500 bedding plants in my cold frame protected from the frost, looked in after lunch and about half of them have fried;

Sorry about your seedlings Tee Gee, but your garden looks amazing, I bet you are the envy of your neighbourhood.
Struggling between frying and drying here... plant sale still weeks away... :o
Lovely pics again... ;D
It is not global warming any more
It is 'climate change' now.
I fried some runner beans. :( Was trying for beans in early june.
Lovely garden.
I would also like a few more showers. Only three so far in a April.
The last time we had such a dry April in the South East (the year before last???), the summer was a complete wash out :'(
