Spring Weather
« on: March 29, 2015, 12:28:22 PM »
For the first day of british summer time it's a rubbish start, it's windy and very wet here. The rain is really hammering it down, here's a pic of the back garden from the conservatory.

27C in the greenhouse this afternoon. All vents fully open, door open, if it would have helped I'd have bought ice cream for all my Primulas.
