BBC weather to garden

Thu, Sep 13, 2012

The UK weather has delivered probably the most mixed bag of weather ever during this Summer 2012 .

There was record rainfall in June and July and a distinct lack of consistent sunshine from May to August .So far September has delivered spectacular sunshine and temperatures as high as 28c in the South East.This wonderful Indian Summer is rumoured to possibly continue into October.

Lets hope this brings the chance to enjoy our beautiful gardens and relax in the sunshine, feeling very proud of this green and pleasant land after a summer of spectacular Olympics.

Gardens are being constantly challenged by our increasingly unpredictable weather patterns and the BBC have highlighted the issues that this blog deals with at http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/basics/weather_climatewarming.shtml

How is your garden coping with our topsy turvy weather – would love to hear from anyone interested in sharing their personal experiences of gardening in a changing climate. Please post your stories here or email me at hello@globalgardening.org

I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and is keen to "manage" the effects of the weather on my garden. Writing this blog is my passion and I hope that it will continue to grow, allowing global gardeners to communicate about the effects of climate change on our plants and the future of our gardens.
