north manchester dull day and the first rain for weeks here but warmer . looking like a good weekend to get stuck in .
Yes it actually rained later yesterday. Not much granted, but quite steady. We still need more so I can mulch the borders.
Today is surprisingly bright, but am waiting on a delivery so stuck - wait a bit, it's just gone through the letterbox! Yay, so will be going outside next to start chucking chicken manure pellets around, joy.
More rain pleeze, say overnight, so ground nicely soaked through so I can get mulching! J.
Yes Jo if only it could just rain at night we'd all be delighted wouldn't we! We've needed it here and it's not to be great at weekend but as long as it then warms up a bit it'll be ok
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Well it has rained, but have a dodgy knee at the mo, so any gardening is out of the question, drat.
Bright with the odd shower & gales here in WManchester today. 15-16C.
OH & me have just had to replace 2 of the greenhouse roof panels. They are elderly polycarbonate panels fitted yrs go when we had vandalism problems. Anyway I noticed that they were missing, so went to find them. No sign anywhere, nor down adjacent alleyway- a real puzzle. Then I noticed that the next set appeared to have slipped, only to discover the missing panels!! They'd 'folded' over!
Anyway I still had an old glass panel in the shed, so that, plus 1 of the polycarbonate panels are now really firmly fixed in place. Good, because, knee permitting, I need to start moving seedlings, shooted dahlias etc down into there now the weather is warmer. J.
Decided to wear my support bandage all day today & knee not so bad, yet....
It's been bright & windy here today. Not now gales, but still strong enough for me to avoid staying in the greenhouse for any length of time as the creaking roof panels freak me out!
The wind also felt a lot warmer than recently. Great to shed layers as I worked out there. J.
Very windy here in East midlands, managed to spend time outside but not very pleasant even though it's been sunny most of the time, just too many sudden gusts.
Very warm and sunny, with a strong, but not unpleasant wind. Soil at the allotment is lovely at the moment and everybody working like mad to get up to date with planting. Red kites are everywhere at the moment, dozens are floating over the house today, all peering down looking for lunch, yet rarely ever see any eating anything - although their favourite food locally, in the Chilterns, seems to be the dozens of kamikaze pheasants who wait for a car to appear and then walk out in front of it!
