blimey - if that isn't guaranteed to bring on Fimbulwinter, I don't know what is ;)

- only joking, Theo, I reckon all the cherry trees round here would be in blossom already, if it hadn't been for the recent cold snap.:)

on a propergator tray on the window sill so i guess you could say in a greenhouse as each tray has a clear lid.

Ah well, bringing Spring forward a bit is a good idea.
We need a change of scene from this cold weather.
As for Easter, Please tell it to go away. I have so much to do before then.

Err, take a look at the forecast, guys.

On Friday they're predicting winds coming down from the north and a return to zero temperatures...!

Hmm. According to Weatherfox, that handy little Firefox extension that sits in my toolbar, it will be 46F this Friday, and 44F on Saturday, in London, well above freezing.

Only astronomical/civil spring; gardening spring is much vaguer. I believe March is early spring, April is mid spring and May is late spring,
