Was very cold this evening on my dog walk, a thick haar 'Sea fog' brought early darkness. I might have thought it was still February, but for the mating calls of the pheasant roosters. They strut about like they own the place, but soon realise my dog does!

Has been just into the 20's here today … flipping chilly tonight though.
Potentially still a risk of frost here for another 3 weeks. Taken a gamble and put a few Felicia, Brachycombe and Nonstop begonias into pots and planted a bamboo (non invasive). The more tender plants I'll let harden off in their pots a bit more
Also planted up a box plant and a dwarf cypress
@SoapySoutar the pheasants around here think they're kamikazee pilots, or they just love to see me ducking behind the steering wheel 🙇♂️

Dreading it. Already finding it draining not being able to regulate my body temperature.
Either my body is dripping with 'fat juice' or shivering uncontrollaby when it drops a couple of degrees. But like rain … it'll be good for the garden. Anything over 24 and I'll be hibernating
Really don't know how I worked on mountains lugging a saw around for 9/10 hours, all the safety gear, heat from the sun, heat from the ground …
… actually maybe I do. I was mad, fit and young

There was a touch of ground frost here after 21:00. I find that by the time we lose last wiinter's chill, we are heading back to autumn again! I have been wrapped up at night since last September. 🐕️👨🦼

Are we conserving water yet? Of course we aren't! 🙄

Haha if they need it they have it the wind dries out plants worse than the sun

I didn't know that.

we have two identical plants in pots one was in the wind today and one was not and you would think it was two different plants

I want to know what the farmer is waiting for, his FYM is steaming away, and getting smelly!
Does a period of time heaped in the fresh air aid the microbial breakdown? Is he waiting for something else, or a date on the calendar?

i dare say it will be spread just before the field is ploughed for maize the ground needs to be a certain temperature for good germination and as you say its a tad colder up your way

Thanks, Michael, I suppose you are right. This is seed potato country, could he also be growing them? Tattie boxes pile very high around here.
0 -
yes could well be about the right time

I heard Scotland is the seed potato capital of the world. Is that likely?

You are correct Chris because of the cooler damp weather and good soil it is ideal for potatoe growers
