First early potatoes are coming on nicely. Planted them before Easter and they did take over 4 weeks to show.

Sunny but very windy at the moment, taking the edge off temperatures of 12c.

They look lovely. You managed to miss frost damage. My ground planted one's haven't been in that long, so that is a good thing.

Poor potatoes

Indeed. Strawberries took a hit too. Seems the little Apple trees - being just a few feet off the ground, faired okay. Its not the end of the world, its just that the Potatoes looked so bushy and healthy just a day before.

Morning All, a fine dry and clear with some Ac just appearing, after an early low 3.2°C of  we are now on our way up with 8.1°C.

It's going to be a grocklefest this weekend by the look of it..

Morning all and let's hope the next few days finally bring us a lasting spring. Early morning frost at 6am (0.5c) now risen to 8c. Very slight breeze. Sunshine and blue skies. Looks like a cracker. Shame I'm holed up with a sprained ankle and wrist

[Mapantz]

16.2°C not long ago. The sun is very strong today!

[CheesepuffScott]

Only 15C but it feels very pleasant under the strength of the sun. Had to take my blazer off again!

[matt111]

Yet again the breeze is slightly ruining the warmth here. Only reached 13.2°C before dropping back, currently 12.6°C. Still feels quite warm when sheltered though.

It's the first cloudy day since (probably) October that has felt warm!

Overcast now. Forecasts are off the mark today. It had clear skies from start to finish. It still shows clear skies now.

OK, so who squished the sun? After a cloudy start then nice and sunny then, oh boy the cloud is back...sorta day.

On overnight low that just dropped into single figures @ 9.9C and a day that peaked @20.9°C at: 13:59 it's just kinda like, well...cloudy now..
