Frank- thanks for sending the sun over, it rained in the night but has been nice and sunny all day, came home and was out in the garden clearing away vegs which needed harvesting or are just not going to do anything. Finally sowed more seeds.
Frank - I've had trouble getting in a few times, usually when I've not entered via a notification. I forget my pass word which doesn't help
Well I have my first sweet pea today form growing them from seed myself and its the most beautiful deep purple. We've had torrential rain and the sun shining at the same time it was a weird light. Its cold here 12c but supposed to be dry tomorrow!
Cherry ripe cherry ripe,ripe I cry full and fair ones come and buy. They should write a song about it, I have a load of cherry tomato's smiling at me in the GH this morning, late I admit but who cares when they taste so different. Teesside weather today is sunny for now, blue sky North and East, we are told we will get rain from the West, they can keep it. When I have the best of three falls with this board it is always a Sunday and it refuses to accept the correct password which I have written down to check and keeps asking me to re-enter!!!! I thought we lost the Gremlins with the war? "Yikes" who mentioned that???
Should have mentioned in my note yesterday that the wildflower beds at Stratford Olympic Park are superb, glorious - congratulations to the gardeners responsible.
Indeed they are Dmball the difference being they are wild Flower meadows and not Hay meadows as we had along our ring roads up to this week. The Council followed Sarah Ravens programme and put in acres of wild meadow along the roads and parks then along came the grass cutters and treat it like lawn? A hay meadow was cut with a scissor blade which left enough rough for insects and small animals to hide in plus seed to eat, you could play bowls on those area's now and as you can guess my missive to the council is flying towards them right now, they get it right then get it all wrong. The cloud has arrived from the West although no rain this side of the Tees as yet, where is the North Sea breeze when we need it.
Wet first thing again here. Dry when had finished shopping & tip visit. Put some washing out just now to notice within 5mins that t'was raining a bit again. As usual, not at the front, but washing in back! About 16C only out there. J.
Throwing it down when I got home tonight....when will it end!
So pleased I got alot done in the garden on Sunday and yesterday. Had the whole of my beetroot crop with tea tonight, they were ever so tasty, shame about the quantity though. On a more positive note at least there's lots of free space for autumn/Winter vegs, always wanted to try growing those but the beds were too full this time last year

Rained here overnight, too, which is annoying as the lawn needs doing.
Wish we could have some sunshine for a change
