    Oh my Hosta. You are a lizard!!!! I can't cope in the heat! Anything above 25 and I'm useless!!
    If it was 28C every day for the rest of my life, I'd be more than happy. 

    Just had another of my "episodes". Methinks it's time for surgery.

    It's working Chicky!!! Thank you! We have some fluffy clouds and a light breeze now!
    Think I'm running out of pots here! My bomb proof plant sideline seems to be using them all up!
    Hosta big hugs to you. Certainly time you had this fixed! X
    Mattpope5..... I hate to spend money on plastic pots... rather wait until there's a reduced plant in them before I fork out!  ;)

    I thought I had a lot @chicky but that beats my hoard, which OH gets fed up with he is a tidy person and I'm not, so we bought a large bin to stack them in. 
    15 deg cooler here at the moment than it was yesterday, so I will be able to do some dead heading and picking of cucumbers, courgettes are turning to marrows as I haven't been able to keep on top of them. I hope the tick leg has removed itself @chicky - nasty things, do you have a tick removal tool? always good too keep handy and remove all of the tick. Do you get deer in your garden like @steephill? If so I expect they are the culprits.   :#

    Afternoon and welcome August. 
    I still need my duvet, or a quilt at least, to sleep even when really warm. 

    Have a lovely weekend all. 

    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    For anyone in need of a visual and aural treat, set your tv to record West Riding on the Talking Pics channel at 6pm this evening.

    Just watching Julia Bradbury and some chap on Yorkshire and its geology and varied countryside and how it got to be what it is.  Fab, but I prefer Lancs and The Lakes.

    I have been butchering.   We inherited 2 hydrangeas in a sorry state and last year I gave them loads of TLC - removed dead bits, weeds and ivy, watered and fed them.  Very pleased with the results in June when the muddy one flowered profusely with clearer colours 


    but by today it had done this which is just horrid

    so I've had a go with the secateurs and told it I need better stuff next year or it's out.

    No seedlings yet which is a shame but these are my pots, ready and waiting.

    I’ve got quite a few pots ... but most of them have got plants in ‘em 🙄
