Greeting of Northern California
I’m sorry to say that gardening has been very difficult this past couple of days as we have had temp over 110 F. The only thing to do is to get up very early and water and hope the plants can survive.We are also on water conservation so we are really using our gray water more and more. Now it is going to the plants instead of saving a flush for the toilet.Those of you that have regular rainfall in the summer feel blessed.Happy Gardenning

As Spritz has mentioned the weather has been shocking in the U.K...... Gales, rain, thunder and well over an inch of rain fell on Bristol again today. We have had this awful weather for some time now. In our area the reservoirs are overflowing.Please send us some sunshine!.
We need some flippers!

Oh dear! Now i wish I wasn't coming south for my hols! We've had nothing like that up here in our "neck of the woods". Sorry to hear about it, I thought that last year was a one-off!

Well I'm fed up with all the rain and high winds we've been having lately but I prefer it to 110 degrees. I don't think I could cope with that atall. Anything over 27 C and I'm finished !

I supose I'm not used to high temps Marguerite. If it goes above the high 20s C I get headaches and I tend to feel depressed aswell. I prefer it on the mild side. It's the same in winter. We don't get servere cold here but sometimes it falls to -1 or maybe -2 C for a night or two. Then I get these headaches again and start to feel melancholly. ( by the way, I'm not in England ) : D

No tolerance for high heat here. In the 70s (degrees) is about all I need. Here in Michigan we have a great deal of humidity as well, usually starts in the 80's, 9'0's forget it...miserable for this gardener. I don't have an understanding for your celsius? versus our degrees. Could someone explain to me the conversion? Thanks in advance for the enlightenment/education.

Have you read all the blogs on our great British weather? We don't feel very blessed at the moment - pity we can't import some of your sun and warmth and give you some (most!) of our rain. I am trying to think positively, so please spare a minute to read about the rainbow I saw this evening - you might feel better, too! :-)
