Dull, rain most of the night after thunder showers with heavy hail yesterday evening.
Temp is 8c
Low stratus down to ground level so I am in hill fog.
Spells of heavy drizzle - it feels more like December!

Hi
Agree with essexpaul about the herbs.
I bought some last year and grew them on light soil in large pots on a sunny patio. Kept the heaviest rain off them and they grew really well.
Most have survived overwintering with light protection and are now starting to grow again.
Seems to me its all about the soil and growing conditions even if they were forced for the supermarket customer.
Bit of TLC and you can still get a decent herb plant.

Don't leave them in the ground too long as they'll turn 'woody' (which aint nice) I would agree about how easy (and quick ) they are!! If you like peas they're also a synch (and magic fresh from the pod raw)
sorry about that - the system is not formatting properly on my screen so bear with me if this does not format properly.
The soil in my garden is still really cold and wet so I am going to have a bash at radishes grown in a 12 inch pot. I treid this last year but they were destroyed by some kind of fly.
This year I am going to dust the soil surface with SYBOL Soil Pest killer - not really organic approach I know, but I really want to eat the radishes not the fly grubs!!

Sorry about the late posts

Light showers of snow grains until about 10am then dry and cloudy.
Yesterday we had snow grains falling all day but no more than temporary light coverings.

Temp 23.5c RH57%
Light Easterly breeze
Cloudy - medium level altostratus - left overs from earlier storms reported around Tamworth/Burton on Trent
No local convection but strong development on the horizon to SW - probably Wales - where the cloud sheet has not cut off heating from the sun.
Was looking forward to all these forecasted storms - bah!
