Hammering it down at the moment.  We've had thunder, lightening and sunshine.  IF? the weather reports correct for tomorrow will be planting in the morning. Fingers crossed. :wave: :toothy10: :blob7: :sunny:

Beautiful gardening  weather on the north east coast today. But didn't manage to get potatoes in, so hoping the weather forecast is wrong -heavy rain sweeping up the country from the south :(

Blowing a hoolie here. Had to go to the allotment to check that the shed was alright as I only put it up yesterday and never anchored it down. Got some stakes in and screwed through so it should be alright. Broad beans have taken a battering, i've  put extra strings around them so should save most of them.

The winds have been proper blowing here all day, worse than the great storms of Shanklin when Ace overdosed on JA's.    :tongue3:

Windier than yesterday, I got caught in what I think must have been a mini tornado, one minute I was digging away on the allotment, the wind all of a sudden got really fierce, netting, plastic sheets bin lids flying about all around me, then a small branch fell out of the sky and cracked me on the head. Ran into the shed for shelter until it stopped, I thought the shed was going to take off it was shaking like mad.

Jumped in the motor when I was ready to come home, checked the mirror, then I noticed that there was quite a bit of claret on my face and in my beard. Good job I did not meet anybody they would have thought I was a mass murderer on the loose.

Pleasant this afternoon, except that I was too shattered to do much after two marathon advice sessions on consecutive days!

What a difference a rain makes. Nice and dry today with a nice growing temperature, all the plants looking fresh and standing up after yesterdays 8 hour soaking.

Well, we had a frost warning here in the East Midlands on both Wednesday and Thursday night, but fortunately got nowhere near it.
Been so dry I had to water the parsnip and beetroot drills. Due some rain early next week which is good 'cause I'm off to Madeira next week.
