    I split rockery plants so I had some to put between the rocks round the wildlife pond,then sieved old bits of gravel through my colander (couldn't find the riddle)to put round them,hope it deters the slugs too as I obviously can't use those blue things!!!

    I cut off the tops of some of my Cosmos that had no buds,collected various seed pods,and labelled them all,also picked a big bunch of sweet peas,which now have much longer stems on them,due to the rain last week I should think

    Bit of hedge trimming and neatening today. The tidying took twice as long as the cutting! The neighbours must have chuckled when I shouted “not the Rhododendron!” at some volume.

    Emptying the inflatable pool one watering can at a time. Gave a few key plants two or three cans to soak down deeper.

    Planted a goldcrest cypress I’ve had in a pot for a year, and four new dahlias. Two new goldcrest I’m not sure how to pot yet, going either side of the garden door.

    Just watering and deadheading. Too hot for anything else.

    Planted on monarda seedlings, planted anchusa italica dropmore in the garden, bit the bullet and moved 4 dahlias from back to front garden. Lots of dead-heading relaxing now with a rum and kahlua cocktail......life is good

    I went out early to beat the heat (30 today), to water and feed. The forecast from Wednesday is 9 degrees lower, so I plan to catch up with weeding.
