Not a lot of snow and/or ice which is fine, but just miserable. I think February was wettest month ever, and March was very wet but not quite record breaking. April has pretty much been non-stop raining so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 46 minutes ago, chrisp65 said: Yep, we’re handing back the allotment to the council. We’ve got a couple of weeks to wade up there and collect our tools and shed porn. In 4 years the fees have gone up from £24 pa to £120, and for the last 6 months it has been utterly unusable. It’s just permanently waterlogged, covered in puddles. At £24 something like that wouldn’t matter and if a crop didn’t work it was only ever really an excuse for some outdoor air and some exercise. With the price hikes we were relying on selling a crop of diamond encrusted asparagus to Waitrose. The only thing we could plant this year would be rice. That's ridiculous. It's like they're purposely trying to stop allotments - I know of 6 that have recently been taken back by the councils for new homes. Increase the price, people don't renew and the land goes back to them. We've hardly been down to ours this year so we've got nowt planted yet, our fees are £50.00 for the year so no increase as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 It's like there's more cogs in the Atlantic. The jet stream can push our weather into all sorts different places before it gets here. Here's some Arctic cold, here's some rain with desert sand mixed in, here's some record downpours, here's a heatwave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
