All my plans for today have gone out of the window.
Really raining heavy here now and have been out in it at work all day

Just had a look which part of the country you both are....... nice day here although a little overcast at the moment. Better go and pick the strawberries in case the rain is on its way :)

Felt a bit better about my strawberries as I found five hiding under some leaves, including one really big one! But worried about my french beans and sweetcoen which are very yellow and very small, despite feeding.

What a happy person you are!!!  The sort of person we need here  :D  Keep on the good work  ;D

[manicscousers]

dug up some kestrel spuds, 10lb from 4 plants, some whoppers, too  ;D

[syrahsuzie]

Picked some cherry tomatoes - Sungold and Supersweet.

Picked all the 'Mangetout' - sorted into what could be cooked and what needed podding and frozen as 'petit pois'.

Composted all the lettuce - bolted in the heat.

Too many 'mangetout' to pick the green beans - do that tomorrow for the freezer - some are nearly 8" (20cm) long.  Not quite 'yard long beans' but I'm impressed !

Then home for a long cool drink (or two) - 30°C here today !

Rain promised for Wednesday.
