Yesterday I put some pumpkin seeds in the airing cupboard to chit. That's as much gardening I could face in the heat.

Planted out the additional climbing beans I sowed to beef out the bedraggled ones I planted last month. Very happy with the beans now.
Planted out Valentine sunflowers wherever I saw a gap in flower beds.
Planted the Miniature White cucumber to replace the earlier ones which died.
Planted out the Rainbow and Bright Yellow Swiss chard.
Took a cutting of the dark Aeonium houseplant and left it to dry off.
Found two thick 20cm side shoots I'd somehow missed on the Gardeners' Delight tomatoes, so I snipped them off and potted them up. I'll find a spot for them somewhere.

Pricked out sonata pinks seedlings, sowed some more. Pruned out lower leaves, tied in and armpitted toms. Picked veg for dinner, MT, courgettes, broccoli & broad beans.

Tied up sunflowers. Removed tomato armpits.

I had a lovely lunch today! I used some of my homegrown Sungold tomatoes in a toasted panini with mozzarella, pesto, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. It was so delicious and refreshing

Mowed the lawn, spread the clippings around the recently planted squash and chard.
Made a bamboo teepee for some Ipomoea Lobata and Canary Creeper to climb up. I was planning to have them against a wall, but the Canary Creeper has self sown so successfully there from last year that I didn't have space for the ones I'd sown in pots. So it's a bonus teepee where I found some space between the dahlias.

Transplanted some orchids from veg garden to the wild flower strip. Potted on a few more plants. That are still waiting to go in the ground. Fed the polytunnel. Pricked out some mazuna and red frills mustard. Collected a watering can of sea water. Did a bit of dead heading. Tied marker string round some of the lupin stems. Then I’ll know which ones I want to save seeds from.
