It's been mostly sunny here today apart from the odd 5 second short sharp shower. I've been pulling up yet more forget me not seedlings and hand weeding the lawn. I like daisies but hate dandilions so I just take out the latter and leave the former. I've also chopped about 3' off the top of the monster rosemary because it was encroaching on the washing line again. I smell strongly of rosemary now (just in case you wondered where the smell was coming from).
I usually grow Sweet Olive cherry tomatoes too but this year I didn't get around to sending off for any seeds. They are are bit expensive and the garden centres don't stock them.
On beeb site I would have to sign in if I shut the comp down, here I am always logged in, it is useful for a late night chat but not necessarily accurate.
It's mostly been sunny, bright or a quick shower today so I've been landscaping a patch of land at the very, very bottom of my garden that housed my cuttings, compost bins and one large veg bed which I halved for crop rotations. Oh, and stuff that needs to go to the tip, shame on me. My excuse is that I can't drive, but I can dig.
So, I now have a total of six veg beds although the two newest ones need good soil added yet, so I will fill them by next spring with compost and manure. I also dug over half of the paths between the beds to clear the perennial weeds and smooth it all out, (it slopes slightly) and I'll finish it off in the coming week. I don't have anything to make paths yet, but I really can't stand another year of mowing the lump weedy patch. I'll sort out some paving in the autumn probably. . Anyhow, I'm a very happy bunny, hope you guys are also.

Kate - I still have lots of different tomato seedlings left if you would like to try any-cherry varieties always seem to do better outside for me
Pam it is a lovely thought but I have just sown another 12, thank you. I will consider cherries though.

Geoff - Is there way of telling if people are online now that we don't have any **'s?
The washing is in-got fed up with wet,dry, wet,dry,-now of course it is sunny and breezy.
There seems to be no indicator of who is on the board-one for the tecchy guys perhaps??
I have noticed that I am always signed in.
KG did you not do Geoffs freebie seeds?
I think what KG means there is no indicator about who is on the board when you are-might be useful or not -dunno
