Temperaturedrop to 12°c on daytime, 3 days more expected like that; my PB record breaking, which was still realsitic, is very seriously in danger now.:-(

Greenhouse and heating next year??? :-s

Yes, only 13°C here too and rain every day. Without sun, greenhouses don´t help much either. August is almost always a poor month in Holland.

Same situation here : Poor august month, cloudy, very few sun, last week : night temp 7°C to 18°C max in the day. A lot of mist at night/morning, ideal for disease.
Same in may, very cold night, late start up to mid june.
What a poor season...But I guess that's the game.
Keep smiling !

Owen, I meant poor weather , not poor side to side :-)
But unfortunately, There are plenty of others problems in this season : voles/moles, fruit shape, splits, pests and diseases etc...nothing to compare with 2009.
