Didn't get the predicted high winds but it's rained most of today. We've had 4 'full Smith' days on the run, making 5 in June, conditions looking good for old blighty Here's to hoping the weather changes tomorrow, I've five bags of spuds and a row in the veg garden
Posh, will do, my aim in life is keeping my little granddaughter happy. I put the growth down to my playing Al Bowlly and Chick Henderson's latest hits on the wind up gramophone more than my green fingers, saying that they were very green after sorting out the tomato's. Never stopped raining after tea, the lights were on early adding to the global warming,"err" when are we going to get some of that warming? we are paying plenty for it. Frank.
Nice dry day here today in Devon, rain forcast during night, managed to do a lot of tidying up today and the weeds are coming out so easy.......forcast not that good for the rest of the week...... Happy gardening folks.......
Frank - I'm sure granddaughter will be more than delighted for grandpa to sort out her little plant! I look forward to regular up-dates! And if plants do respond to music (mine respond to my voice - if I give them a good talking to, they don't dare to do anything but grow ) then it's in for a good spurt of growth!
And Hallo to Jacque & David. I see you're in Devon. Another Sou'wester here (Somerset). Hope you enjoy retirement and gardening. I retired a couple of years ago - and still don't have enough hours in the day . . . . . . .
Posh, remember mine is a well trained WO1 voice, I did have quite a reasonable Tenor voice before bawling it hoarse at recruits. Al Bowlly has to stand in for me now with "begin the Beguine" beats all this "ere" skiffle stuff around these days? Hello Jacque and David do not think you are on the wrong thread, Saturday nights get a bit mad, it is all that football which I watch with the sound off, cannot stand pundits who comment on a different game than I am watching, or so it seems?
Oh, Frank - that's not a vague refence to the war, is it? Now, now - you know that it makes some people a bit twitchy! You'll be extolling the virtues of Glen Miller or Vera Lynn soon (please!)

POSH, "Moi" "nimmer-mehr" as a matter of fact because of the rotten TV coverage last night I did get an hour's practice on the old "Joanna" and you guessed right a lot of Glen Miller got an airing. Back on track, Teesside today is bathed in sunshine although there is some heavy cloud up there, the greenhouse is open and the Toms got a trowel full of my gold compost and a watering, I love the smell when you do that. No cooking today we are down in the Vale of York for a family party, my Granddaughter the Engineer is on leave from Canada to go to a wedding, she goes back early in the week so a chance for me to catch up. They have upgraded the M1 motorway so I will need to find my way into the village, it had been blocked off. What would we do without life's little problems to solve.

Frank: please keep us updated about the sunflower - I feel quite protective about it!
