re: Climate zones & cheese

    Thank you to everyone for the information. I now know that I am zone 9. From some of the descriptions of my area it sounds idyllic! I never realised what a wonderful gardening environment I lived in. However, I couldn't dig on my allotment from early Oct to early Feb because it was far too wet. I lost a lot of produce last summer because it was so dry and just when I think spring has sprung and summer is on its way, we get a frost in early June.
 
I have noticed that our winters are getting milder and the summers hotter, whether this is just the normal cycles or in fact global warming I don't know.
 
I love gardening and what ever the weather throws at me I always manage to prevail. I am finally getting the allotment dug and this weekend I shall get all those things planted that should have gone in months or weeks ago. Please tell me it isn't too late to put my shallots in (should have been planted in Dec/Jan)!!!
 
Thanks again for all the help

PS. BTW there is talk that the traditional Cheese Rolling may be stopped due to so many people breaking limbs, between you and me even if they stop organising it people will still do it.
