Jox Posted June 20, 2012 @ 2Deep, my head tells me the days are getting longer surely it has to get warmer but I have been told August will be the coldest month of the year & its going to be one of the coldest on record (WTF). If some can tell me this is not true, I would very happy. COME ON MORE SUN!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darklight Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) August will be the coldest month of the year August is always one of the coldest months round here, soil temps have been low for the main part of winter and it takes a lot of warmer temps throughout the day and night to raise them I'm always amazed at how many people forget this Plus around August there are those godawful winds, sometimes not in August but late July or early September. Drives everyone nuts. When the winds start we call it "Blue month" cos there are so many arguments around Edited June 21, 2012 by Darklight 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shortly Posted June 21, 2012 True enough that we still have the windy season to go, i'm still happy the season is turning & the days be getting longer plus a big feed & drinks for yule tonight Only if you can keep the temps up a bit IndianDreaming, I will be planting seeds under glass on a hotbed tomorrow after my hangover recedes a bit. Its easy to heat, getting photo period right is trickier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
