Lovely day here so far, with sun and passing clouds. After all of the rain lately, I'm sure I can actually hear things growing! Unfortunately, serious amounts of the wet stuff forecast for tomorrow though, so planting out the last of the sprouts today - at least they'll get a good watering in tomorrow!
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Went for carvery lunch the other side of Exmoor (well worth the drive - I reckon they could name the beast the beautiful beef comes from!) Now, replete, I'm not sorry that I simply cannot do any gardening today. Will sit back and revel in my 35th Wedding Anniversary (unfortunately, it's not associated with a precious metal or jewel - gotta wait another five years for that )
Frank: music on the old Joanna, eh? And I thought you were the very devil on the spoons!
It was lovely and warm here, no wind or rain. I tied in plants in the GH and discovered a cue hiding behind a leaf, courgettes are flowering, along with first earlies and a tom plant has lots of tiny green fruit on. Picked my first purple podded peas today, they didn't make it to the kitchen but tasted divine. Biggest pea plants I've ever grown at nearly 5ft and still growing.
Planted out some fennel, second time lucky, I'm hoping for some bulbs this year.
2nd lovely day on the trot! Is this our summer? Just heard we are to expect a whole month's rain in the next 48 hours! My garden floods after heavy rain as it's clay, but I feel so sorry for those poor folks in Wales. They must have head not only their gardens ruined , but their homes as well. My heart goes out to them.

Well, it's dry here in N. Yorks so far, and predicted to remain so - so good news for that wedding, Frank!

Wet. Very. But windless (hoorah!)

Following a few terrible days of wind, but no rain, today was just gorgeous. Not too hot, but enough to slightly colour my fair shoulders.

I know things like this are notoriously unreliable but this is the 10 day forecast for my area-not much sign of sun

It is raining and it is not going to stop today and might even get thunder
10.55, the rain has just made it to East Dorset.
Indoor jobs today. Afternoon dog walk in doubt.
