Morning Smile 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 Smile

None of the promised rain here Sad. 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. Angry On ringing the Electric board I found out that 3000 homes were affected. Electric was restored after 1.5 hours thankfully. Cool

Still raining this morning so at least the allotment will get a good watering. Weeds will love it. Rolleyes

Just crept in before noon!!
Little bit of overnight rain which was disappointing but, on a brighter note, its just started again. Smile
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.Wink

Evening, we've had rain of and on all day so my water butts are full Smile  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.

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. Huh 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. Idea

Well, I sowed some beetroot a few days a go Smile 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!!
