Hot day to be gardening but I've been busy. Repaired the mower and cut the lawn, all the grass went into the compost along with an entire wheelie bin of nettles from the neighbours (that bin will be absolutely raging hot in a couple of days). Watered the potted tomatoes, Bananas, gunneras, bagged potatoes and peas. Tidied up the cardoons (again), cut back all the pulmonaria which have not terrible mildew now. Trimmed the hellebores. Cleared all the tulips. Sat and ate ice-cream and had a cold cider 😀
What a good idea @Wilderbeast - you've just reminded me that I'd ordered some icecreams with SM delivery last Thursday! Now contentedly licking a Magnum.
I did do some light gardening earlier, just deadheading, weeding and watering. Recovering from a shoulder steroid jab I had yesterday.
Up early today. Planted out 4 tall sunflowers and 4 small bush type sunflowers. Did quite a bit of hoeing as weeds as getting out of hand. Turned a bin of finished compost putting half on top of another bin of finished and adding the remaining to another working bin, I know sounds daft but I've gained an empty bin to start a new pile now. Took the temp of the 2 working bins 73°c and 85°c scorching 😥😥

This afternoon I potted on perennials that the old man grew from seed,6 tomatoes my friend keeps saying she will collect I had to pot on again Potted on some giant tobacco plants,I grew from seed, planted out my 3rd lot of sweet peas.
