Teesside is cold today, it was raining although now drying up. It is a two roast Sunday lunch tomorrow, Granddaughter likes Beef and Grandson likes Pork us adults get what is left, they said make plenty of Yorkshires so a double mix then. I noticed this morning the flag Irises in full bloom, they do cheer things up on a gloomy day. Better get that Sun flower into a nice pot with a bit more than the inch of compost it came in.
Cloudy day here on the west coast of Canada--rain for the last few days on and off, and all the weeds are burgeoning. Today will be a composting day. Here we are plagued by an explosion of tent caterpillars, so I do a patrol morning and evening. They go in cycles, and this year is really bad. They love fruit trees and roses particularly.
Beautiful sunshine again but the wind is chilly. Living on the south coast keeps us a bit cooler. No gardening today have had treatment for my arthritic back and neck so feelin ga bit crap. Wil be at the alotment tomorrow the weeds wait for no-one.
It's trying to rain as I type - and the clouds have been rumbling for the past hour, so it looks like we will get a bit of useful rain!
Village had its annual duck race (postponed from the early May BH because of the rain!) and rushed things on a bit to get it done before the weather set in. Good call, methinks. (OH is complaining of cold feet and aching legs because he was a "thrasher" in the stream to help the ducks along )
I managed to get my beans and peas in this morning. Just have to hope they don't get washed away .
Proper rain just started here.hopefully butts will get topped up. Managed to prick out some teensy nictiana seedlings this afternoon, the rest of the potting on will wait till tomorrow.
I managed to pot up my marigolds... I had a bit of an accident with marigold seeds (I dont like them much because of the smell) but I was given them and dont like waste, anyway, I dropped two envelopes full of seeds in my compost.. Needless to say everying is coming up marigolds.. so I was glad it wasnt too hot today to do the job of repotting them.

Too hot for much gardening this afternoon - here in Normandy. Beginning to cloud over a bit so we're hoping we get some rain this time.
