Fri, Jun 22, 2012

Yet another garden wash out this weekend with wind and rain predicted for much of the UK. I can count on one hand the number of sunny days I have managed to enjoy my garden and nothing is growing as it should – veg are a particular disaster with the lack of sun.

Meteorologist Philip Eden reports that: ‘The lack of sunshine is even more remarkable than the excessive rain.This is easily the gloomiest first half of June since British sunshine records began in 1876

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.
