Am now going to leave both the coldframes wide open 24hrs.... otherwise things will never be hardened off.
At w/end Daughter planted out the courgettes that I'd grown for her, plus cloche for extra cover to start with as not fully hardened off my end, but just getting too big to transport easily.
She gave me some rather anaemic French bean plants that she'd grown. Hmm, hope they cope- still in my coldframe for the time being. J.
it is hammering it down here today.. started later than the billed 5am.. coming in at 8amish.. no wind not a breath of it today.. and we had such a good weekend very hot and sunny and blue skies all three days.. not a cloud in the sky.. then this..
that said.. it is very good to ahve the rain wintersong..as my water butts were empty fo the second time this year.. all bar one which was down to the last few water cans full,
Heavy showers of rain with occasional brighter spells,glad I managed to plant most things out over the weekend,which was warm and sunny for all three days.

Another lovely day in Kent although I had to work the latter half.
Still chilly when the sun goes down but mostly the flowerbeds are responding, just got to hope the veg stuff has a decent chance to get going.
Wet, very. Outdoor tomatoes looking rather unhappy compared with the indoor ones. Too pale, not enough growth.
Wet, wet, wet today.

Raining here, but good for the garden and brings the Blackbirds out to play
Don't know what's happening with my photos again but I called Bob (pictured - and see yesterday's 20:19 post) back for another photo shoot.

Wet Wet and Wet. My waterbutts were on the way to empty so now they are full again. Think the rain is with us for the week
