Description: I show the results of low spring temperatures, in contrast to the high ones of 2020. The differences are dramatic. Growth was so slowed by the cold nights of April, that it has been slow to re-establish until just recently. At Homeacres SW England zone 6-8 with normally mild springs, and last frost mid May. See the follow up video we made in mid June, 29 days after this one youtube.com/watch?v=5cd3GbYmRI4 April 2021 saw 16 frosts compared to the average 5, and a minimum temperature average in April of -0.2C (average 4C), although days were almost average temperature of 13.4C. May had four frosts up to 7th May, and temperatures are so far just 1.4C below average in May, but April's nights did the damage. April 2020 had four frosts and nights averaged 5.2C, days were average 18C! May 2020 had four frosts with day temperature average of 17.5C up to mid May. In 2021, not one day has been that warm.
