Ne’er cast a clout…
May 10, 2011
What fantastic weather we are having. It’s very worrying that we haven’t had any significant rain for many weeks and you just have the feeling that we will be paying for this in some way (remember our floods last June?) but we have been able to enjoy the weather so far.
However, we are not to be complacent. My old friend Mr Meteo’s website reminds me this morning that we are about to encounter the ‘Ice Saints’. Three Saint’s days on 11, 12 and 13 May that traditionally bring overnight frosts, but as soon as these days are over, we are not to fear frost again.
Just as well I’ve not bought my tomato plants and geraniums just yet!
