Warmest this year

Friday started with something like an inland sea fret and it seemed the weather might just have changed for the Bank Holiday as usual. It wasn't long before the sun broke through and we had another superb day with the temperature reaching 22.8°C the warmest of the year so far. It's just possible that the fine weather will bring out our bluebells in April.

I tilled a couple of plots and our soil is extremely dry even below the top couple of inches. Perhaps we will be treated to some heavy showers as forecast over the weekend but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Normally the soil turns over much darker but at the moment the soil seems just as dry underneath and in any case dries out in a few minutes in the warm sunshine.
