its actually there for Wickes, B&M, B&Q and the like to start selling you plants that should have been planted a few weeks ago in the monsoon season we had, flat pack garden furniture and trampolines that will fly away forever in the next named storm.

Speaking of which - Storm Dave? Whats all that about? call him by his proper name Storm Rodney.

As any FOC gardener type (like my dear old dad) will tell you. “Ne’er cast a clout ‘til May is out”. The big sheds will sell you bedding plants that shouldn’t be planted until frosts are finished. So peeps buy and plant them, frost and bad weather kill them, peeps shout at the big sheds for selling crap, and buy some more.

The may referred to in that saying is mayflower, from the hawthorn bush, which as it name suggests, usually flowers in early May.

But I think it’s going to be out earlier than that this year, at least here on the wrong side of the Pennines

Ah, always just assumed it meant the month. We always (her indoors really) order baskets and bedding plants for the Whitsun bank holidays.
 
If you like the Knievel laughs then here's Robbie Knievel:


Watch the landing and then checkout this comment:

At the end of the jump, they were looking for a Knievel in a haystack.

That's hilarious.

"Don't forget Pete, you do the ascent first and then roll the rock to the side. Lift, then roll. You OK with that?"

"Yes Sir, lift, then roll. I've got it"
