summer?
I know that the winter in the UK was mild but very wet and wndy and that the spring was so-so,but the start of summer has been rather good. In Sweden we had a relatively mild and dry winter ,the spring was up and down for quite awhile but this summer!!It started nice enough but this last two weeks have had temps far below what is normal. On a good day the temp will reach 10/11 degrees C while nights go down to5/6 degrees. According to the wheather forecasts it will stay like this for another ten days so i am starting to get a bit worried for my plants. Anyone else on the Forum has a wheather like this?

Re: summer?
We are more fortunate in the UK. Temperatures in Wales have been in the low to mid 20s for the past couple of weeks, with night time temps keeping above 10 degrees C.

Yes, far too hot overnight for my liking. My plants are hoping for cooler nights soon.rodsmith wrote:with night time temps keeping above 10 degrees C.

Re: summer?
Hello,
I recorded 2.7 C 2 nights ago, not far from Thord. I brought many plants back into the greenhouse, mainly Disco, Melo, and Ubelmannias.
Would you not worry?

Re: summer?
I have no idea how you manage to grow cacti in Sweden! At least you're guaranteed a cold winter. Good luck is all I can say!
