Morning
we've had a few spots of rain could see it on the GH but it dried as soon as it landed on the yard. Thunder due later then rain all day tomorrow.. Gardens looking green and productive plus I've got my eye on the first cuc of the season.
Lots of flowers on my Nasturtiums from orange to yellow wonder if I'll get the variegated ones again this year.
Enjoy the Day

None of the promised rain here
. It's hot hot hot already, luckily the aircon keeps the house coolish. I will do a rain dance but I fear it wont work. Otherwise deadheading and general maintenance just gentle jobs today.

Morning all. Rain dance worked! Having to pump water around so it's not wasted. Took shading off the GH. What diverse weather we have.

Morning all
We had the thunder and lightening last night, so much so that one large crack of thunder knocked our electric off.
On ringing the Electric board I found out that 3000 homes were affected. Electric was restored after 1.5 hours thankfully. 
Still raining this morning so at least the allotment will get a good watering. Weeds will love it.

Woke at 4am by the rain, stopped now but most welcome.
As Vinny says the weeds will love it

Just crept in before noon!!
Little bit of overnight rain which was disappointing but, on a brighter note, its just started again.
Had to move the aubergines off their shelf in the GH as they were touching the roof (still not really very tall - its a high shelf) and into another GH. Managed to do all the toing and froing before the rain started.
Better go now - or it will be high noon.

Evening, we've had rain of and on all day so my water butts are full
I had to water the container potatoes the foliage stops the rain from getting through. I did wait until it stopped so I wasn't watering in the rain.
RE: Good Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night! - Vinny - 28-06-2020
I went to the allotment purposely to water the stuff I have in the greenhouse. As it happened the plants didn't need watering, but the heavens opened with thunder and lightening and I was pinned inside the greenhouse.(eek)
Because I was stuck inside I went through my seed packets to see if there was anything I could sow.
I finally decided on sowing some peas. I found one of those window propagator troughs under the bench, filled it with compost and sowed peas in it. It has no drainage so should be similar to sowing peas in rain guttering, but not as easy to slide out.

Well, I sowed some beetroot a few days a go
and they are up! Something has disturbed my tray of Poppy's before I had chance to do anything with them. Watered my tomatoes this morning, and disturbed a vole have brekkie! I'm seeing loads at the moment. I really wish hey would eat something else.Made some fruit & plain scones on Friday - son said I would like some savoury ones.
So today made a load of savoury one with very strong cheese, mustard and cayenne powder.....just walked into the kitchen and he is sat eating them with black currant jam! I would have been better saving the cheese for something else!!
