After the rain the sun's out so time to weed those awkward bits between paving and inaccesable shrubs. Maybe a trip to the allotment to see if the persistant weeds will lift more easily than they did yesterday.
Came home from teaching English to my scientists and potted up 50 or so assorted chilies and a dozen sweet yellow peppers and some beefsteak tomatoes as well as a new one called Red Alert. 3 of the scientsts turned up at 5pm to take away some of th ebabies and also a load of spare geranium phaeums and hemerocallis I'd cleared from a bed earlier in April. Found a white phaeum in amongst all the purple so split that into 5 and potted those up too. Thought I'd lost all those so am very pleased.
A few more divisions to pot on and label and then be loaded up with the spare chilies for a charity plant sale tomorrow at my garden group - selling off the leftovers and some new bits to add to the 1000€ we raised at the beginning of the month. Every little helps.
First I need to walk the dogs before it pees down.

No, we had hailstones big as golf balls and the wind would make you fly without wings, some thing that usually takes a few tots of Scottish fire water. Feet up a cup of tea and nosing through the posts.

Gardening hard against the weather to get gardens ready for Shelley Garden festival Sun 28th June - but feels horribly like winter today!
I hope you have a lovely time at Chelsea, Pippin, don't forget your camera!
Thanks everyone, will certainly report back. Weather looks as if it may be good....
