I am not most people- I want see post 101 and I want it now-I also want to fly to the moon,have summer all year round,free water gas and electricity,holiday in the Bahamas and win the lottery-it will be in my next election manifesto
Kate, you're right about the plants frying. My beautiful purple blue hydrangea which flowered for the first time this year (and spectacularly) is now looking scorched. Such a shame. Its in the front border which gets full afternoon sun, so no wonder really.
I have the first small beans on my runner beans! There is hope of a crop yet! But the dwarf french beans I sowed recently have done nothing. Win some, lose some I suppose.
-has anyone got any tomatoes showing the glimpse of ripening-this excludes Pam-we are all going there for supplies in the middle of the night
All my bargain plants from my trips to B& Q are flowering the petunias,nemesia ,begonias-and the 20 or so geraniums that I paid a £1 for are showing flower buds
We have 1 tomato just turning red in the greenhouse, plenty of green ones, so hopefully should have a good crop. Runner beans are setting well, with a few about 1" long. Just about finished the broad beans, one more boiling and that's it. not many to start with this year.
I am hoping to be picking beans in 7/10 days -tomatoes still green but I keep looking.
Hot,hot,hot news-I saw a man taking a photo of next door-the THE HOUSE IS UP FOR SALE-yippee -well until even more annoying people move in-asking price is £200,000-the agent -ever optimistic -reckons they are desirable but cannot see it going for that - we shall see.
Just off to pick some broad beans now as they seem to be doing well. Got far too many to eat so they will have to go in the freezer. Anyone got any tips for freezing them or is it straightforward?
We had a very stressful night - we live next door to the man who was shot by police last night. We had to leave our house for a few hours and the road is still full of police vehicles

I have watered and dead headed. Plants are now frying out there. I have picked 5 beans
He put 6 wallflowers into the basket, I could not work out what season it was for.
Gary, have you considered that Geoff probably does post over 100 in a few days! 100 is great for me and other normal mortals, though ;- )

6 wallflowers in one basket-that is a big basket
I never claim to be normal

Almost worth wearing beige for

I have 4 tomatoes that I reckon I can pick around Monday. First mini crop of beans yesterday. Things are looking up
