Forgot to say earlier Chicky - well done to all concerned for your plant fair sales.
Spent the morning weeding bindweed out of my tomato bed prior to planting out a few more. Got myself a lovely blister thanks to doing it by hand with a trowel and bare hands so I could feel for the roots. No doubt it will be back but, I hope, weakened.
After lunch a little zizz was called for thanks to Cosmos and then we got showered to go and see an Open Garden at the chateau de Nesmy. Very disappointing. Large park with just a few azaleas in flower with lilac and that yellow flowered suckering shrub and some white irises. Lots of lovely big trees, a potager that was mostly empty, a woodland area with just ivy and geranium nodosum on the ground and then round a big pond/small lake and back to the chateau terrace and aaaargh! PLain grass and tatty palm trees! Not one flower.
Spent an hour covering up toms for the night and watering pots before dinner. Feeling weary now but in a good way.
Glad you're back in one piece FG. Easy does it.
I hope everyone's enjoyed their day and some sunshine.

Morning Hosta, hope work isn't to stressful, I can empathize, I wad driving behind caravans most of Friday! 😕x
We'll have them here until about October, cluttering up the roads at 30mph,max, if we're lucky. I'm sure they think everyone is on holiday and nobody actually needs to get anywhere at a particular time
Here you go Fairy, there's homemade coleslaw and garlic bread too with baps and cheese for the homemade burgers.... no sausages left I'm afraid, Flarface grabbed the last even though it was very hot and ran off to next doors garden! Glad the driving wasn't too bad Hosta 😊 the bench thing sounds very suitable!! Lovely sounding day Dove! Glad you made the most of it! X
Sounds like everyone else had a lovely day ... even the workers and Flatface im under the very thin duvet and I have my book, so night night all ((hugs))
