Rain, thunder and strong winds in this part of the NW.
David Attenborough was on Freeview this afternoon, coming from the 'Galapagos Islands'. Watched it whilst I was ironing, it was too wet to go out and garden. Apparently dandilion seeds have been blown onto one island...OMG...you would not believe the size of them, they had adpated to the climate and left undisturbed grown into tree's and I thought I had problems with a few in the lawn.
Blustery all day and decidedly cooler (garden thermometer's died so no temps - another something for Santa to bring me). It was at least dry out in the garden a little while ago, but now the rain is enough to sting my face.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
It was dry for most of the day here with a few spots of rain in the afternoon.
Dug up the rest of the dahlias and potted up some geraniums. Also planted out garlic and picked the last of the french beans which had been drying on the plants for seed collection. I keep putting off cleaning the GH... on my to do list for next week...
NE, very bright, light winds but cold about 6C. I've been cleaning soil from dahlia tubers and felt really chilled in both senses! I too need to tidy the paved floor of my little greenhouse hardly room to shuffle about. Funny thing with the dahlias or at least some of them, I can see the tiny eyes of next years shoots already, hope they don't shrivel over the winter. What a strange year it's been.

You could be writing my own post for me, Zoomer.
It really feels quite cold here (Norfolk), a bit of wind chill: 6 degrees with a gentle breeze, few clouds quite high in a bright blue sky.
When I think of the greenhouse my mind immediately considers something else - like a nice cup of coffee!
11c. here, but sunny and feels much warmer. Will plant out some pots later.
