Weather to garden

May has arrived with some lovely high temperatures in the garden which is really helping many plants to catch up after the very cold start to spring.

South East England is predicted to enjoy 21c on Bank Holiday Monday which is wonderful news but night frosts can still be a problem well into May  – take care with seedlings in particular. Here is the link to a brilliant app that warns of impending frosts:

Cold Snap Frost Warning Android App

ColdSnap! Frost Alarm is a must have application for gardeners, allotment holders and anyone else that wants a low maintenance,  low temperature warning.

I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden. Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces. My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable. The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.
