I'm already preparing for Spring, which will probably continue to be a little earlier each year. My early tomato and onion seedlings are doing fine indoors, and didn't perish when the central heating broke down. I'm trying out a tip from a smallholder magazine - growing some of these early seeds in inner tubes from toilet rolls, so that there will be minimal disruption to their roots when planted out into soil later on.
The recent snowy weather in parts of the UK is par for the course and in no way adds weight to the arguments of climate change deniers. This snow is all part of the normal seasonality and short-term variability of local weather patterns on this western fringe of the continental European landmass. Climate change is based on long-term averages and trends, not short-term ones.
