This morning had to go out and save some plants. Had rain and winds overnight, knocked over some pots waiting to go in, and a tray full of white geranium overturned and emptied out, dont look damaged so hopefully will be ok. The rest in the garden seem to have weathered it , but the Hawthorne blossom looks like snow on the ground.
Purplerallim , sorry to hear you’ve not been well , hope you are better at least you had a test and it was negative ,as you said , not been anywhere Need to fill water butts again from stream , that will be the second time this year and it’s only May , can’t remember it being so dry this early in the year
No gardening today, yesterday put up canes and cord to protect the outdoor tomatoes against winds, look good so far, all the trees are bending with the winds.
Cut back all the daffodils, deadhead primrose, senetti and rununculus (theyre shortly for the compost heap, wont buy again), put the potting table back together, raked up next doors holly leaves.
Then I want to hack things, sonthe beighbours slring flowering clematis was my target, plus overhanging ivy. Then painted the fence it exposed.
Very good day in garden Filled water butts up from stream O/H did Greenhouse , 6 tomato 🍅 planted in 2 grow bags, 4 cucumbers 🥒 planted in large pots , 2 aubergine 🍆 and repotted chilli 🌶 plant that was in utility room , we also plant marigolds in pots .

I sowed more carrots, lettuce and rocket, watered all the soft fruit, runner beans and peas (taking a battering from the wind today). Also soaked my DA roses as they are in full bloom with competition from hedge roots. Emptied out 8 more pots of black Opo grass and put them out on the drive for free. Most waterbutts are empty so I had the hosepipe going for 3 hours - crikes!
