Nature Hills Gardening Community

We live in a lovely part of Wales in the UK, where we are said to have what's known as Micro-Climate. Meaning warm summers and mild winters. As far as the seasons are concerned, the last winter was in fact very mild. We've had no snow at all, apart from a bit of freak weather in other parts of the country, ...snow in April...yes, hard to believe. Luckily this region was not affected by it. As for spring,... it has been very wet, we've had plenty of rain, but also some very nice sunny periods. Summer is now upon us and I am really looking forward to going down to the beach for a stroll along the promenade, with an ice-cream in my hand, enjoying the warm summer breeze.

I will attach a photo of our local area....

Maria,

What an awesome scene captured by your talent.  What are your average temperatures in the summer and winter? I would love to garden in your micro-climate.

Hi Jeff

Thanks for the compliment.... The average temperatures here are around 22C. to 26C.(74F - 82F) in summer I think. I am only guessing because we havn't been here that long yet. We have spent our first winter here and the temperatures went barely below freezing. Apart from a little ground frost here and there, it has been a very mild winter. I'm not sure if this is unusual for this region or if it could be considered as a sign of global climate change...? Talking to the locals, we had been warned that February would be the worst time for cold and freezing temparatures, but it didn't happen this year.... I'm not complaining,..
