    What's your weather like 2026

    At 1pm had some heavy rain with hail stones, we were out walking River at the time. Now light rain showers and a gentle breeze from the south west temp 11c feels like 9c.

    I've grown both skirret and salsify, I got enough to for a meal or two, but didn't really bother again. Purple sprouting broccoli, hardy, can make a large plant and produces edible shoots at this time of year, these can be eaten raw in salad or briefly cooked.
