Stockton is sunshine all the way, looking after next doors garden this week everything in pots so having to keep up with the watering as they dry out fast. I will find time to sit contemplate my naval and enjoy the sun though.
I registered for the Lancashire cycle challenge on Monday but it was far to hot go out this evening so reorganised the GH, took out some shelving and repositioned all the pots. Finished planting up the bed with peppers (tall), cues and a variety of beans called yard long noodles, best grown in a GH, we shall see... .
Norfolk: too hot and airless to work until evening. Then cool enough to dig and rake some manure into my raised beds ready for late showings of beans and salad.
Very satisfying seeing the dried, spent soil becoming darker and richer again.
Cut some sweet pea and foxglove to bring indoors this afternoon, I didn't expect foxglove to grow so tall, some are over 5ft and bee's are drawn to them like a magnet. I've lots of bee's in the garden but no ladybirds.

Humid this morning then turned out bright hot sunshine this afternoon
A scorcher day.

Very very very W..........indy.
Strong and cool wind. Rained again overnight..had enough now!
Norfolk: Blustery but not cold - so washing went out
- so it rained! 
Then washing got wet then dried again. Presently sun is out but clouds still threaten. About to tempt them by doing some gardening.
Nottingham. Wet, Wet, Wet.
