Longest summer since 1910 :)

Post by ConcreteJungle »

If this is true - my washingtonia robusta will get a good start to its life! But on the downside my robellini will need some extra shade from the sun - it limped with persistent sun last year, although it was probably acclimatising, despite daily watering.

Sorry to be the "Voice of Doom", but it's the Daily Express and I am not going to even boost their clicks by clicking through on the link.

It would be nice to have 120 days of 30C+ temps icon_thumleft I hope it materializes.
The garden would need a lot of watering though...

never been on their site before so dont know how reliable this paper is - was just checking out weather for the week ahead - then it popped up on google the headline. But yeah - more sun = more water needed! Good job im not on a meter.

What a load of balderdash!! Seeing is believing though. I wonder if they have ever written a story on long range forecasts being highly improbable. Or more to the point, sorry we were wrong.....again!!!

I wouldn't insult my cranium by reading that rubbish?

We will probably just get a bad summer anyway as at the moment we seem to get 8 bad and 2 good summers every 10 years on average.

I would be happy to get 2 good weeks out of every month between now and October as maybe my S Romanzoffianum may actually produce more then one leaf a year and I won't get fed up with it and dig it up this year.

Maybe all that good weather will burn off this damned fog weve got in Edinburgh. Ive not seen the sun or even a cloud in the sky since last Friday ! :evil:

I'd settle for 120 hours of summer but somewhere in the UK they will get 120 minutes :roll:
