Weather March 2010
« on: March 19, 2010, 05:48:28 PM »
I've lost count of if this is the fourth or fifth week without rain

The threat of prolonged rain didnt happen yesterday >:(

Looking around the garden today snowdrops have suddenly gone over except for a few late ones. Many are now almost flat to the ground especially Wendy's Gold. Those in troughs needed water today. Not many Crocus left in flower in the beds either

Who else is playing, or is it just you and the weather  :P

We must have had your share as well as our own. Chucked it down most of yesterday afternoon and from mid morning today it hasn't stopped. Just a thin heavy drizzle now (the sort that wets you through!)

Our first rain in the Alps, rather than snow, arrived yesterday and is continuing today - everything looks instantly more green and many more bulbs are popping up..... the birds are singing madly and are happy to be wet rather than cold - it's Spring  8)

March has been pleasantly warm and dry after the ridiculous cold.  Very wet yesterday for the first time since I can't remember when and supposed to be more unsettled all week.  Still not cold though.  Crocus and Snowdrops have been finished off, Cyclamen coum is still hanging in there.

I spend more time worrying about keeping the greenhouse cool than warm at the moment ;)  Over 30C today but still easy to provide enough ventilation.

Do you know - I hadn't even spotted that; I'd read the M as a W and thought it was weather watch....
