Today it has rained lightly, was sunny, rained hard, hailed and was windy. All in one day. The plants in the greenhouse are growing so slowly. They're doing ok, some are basically ready to be planted out, but good thing I didn't get around to it this weekend as this week temperatures have been down to 4C again in the mornings when I get up. Which means probably even colder during the night. Not good for new baby plants outdoors. I had them outside in the sunshine a bit on Saturday and Sunday to get them used to living outdoors. The sunflowers and sweat peas need to get out very soon so we can only hope it will become a little bit sunnier soon.
I walked through the garden in the rain this evening to go pick parsley in the greenhouse. I need to plant some closer to the kitchen. I walked through the rain in my wellies and felt very English!
I have planted out some of the lettuce plants and they seem to be doing fine outside. Not growing much but at least they're still alive! I also planted radish seeds which have just started peeping out above the soil.
No photos due to it being to wet!
*Update: This morning we had to scrape ice for the car's windshield before leaving home!! It was that cold! But then it turned out to be a lovely sunny day all day actually! This weather is so unpredictable :-)
