The UK is on course for the third warmest spring since records began, forecasters say.

The Met Office said an average March-May temperature of 8.97C (48.15F) would be beaten only by 2007 and 2011 in the records, which date back to 1910.

And depending on temperatures in the final three days of May, Scotland could be set for its warmest spring on record.

It would also mean six months of above-average temperatures across the UK.

But they are sitting in the ground. Lost a few(more then usual) It has not warmed up enough to get them going. And it is past out typical planting date for zone 4.
Very little sun lots of rain and cool temps. Worried about blight.
