[QUOTE="Flintstone, post: 9266575, member: 14178"] Ok, putting the Winter/Spring rainfall aside for a minute, is anyone else finding this a strange Spring? The local Reading University soil and air temperatures (link below) have been well above seasonal average, but I’m finding everything to be so slow to get away this year. We are now into the third week of April now, and it’s almost like a dormant Spring, certainly for Spring crops. There’s an area of grass I’ve regularly cut for my own recreational use for 30 years now, and I’ve only had to cut it once so far. Normally by now I’d have done at least four cuts, and it would be romping away weekly. Trees seem ever so slow to come into blossom, and crops I drilled back in mid Feb seem to be sitting at the same growth stage, with little willingness to move, for weeks now! I know it’s been ever so wet, but something else seems to be going on. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.met.reading.ac.uk/weatherdata/Reading_monthly_summaries.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
