So tempted.....

[Florence Fennel]

I felt like that last year Carol when all three blowaways blew away, when I thought I'd drowned my tomatoes and when no runner beans ran. If it hadn't been for the encouragement, advice and humouring on here I think I would have packed it in. Keep on keeping on, it has to get better some time soon Yay for the carrots!

I can't cover me strawberries either. Forecast here for tonight is 4 degrees but I'm still worried.

[binley100]

Well every weather forecast I've looked at is different so I'll give up and just look out the window and very pleasant it looks too with the garden bathed in the evening sun

[VirginVegGrower]

I've lost my celeriac seedlings and calabrese seedlings. I've got one foot high brassicas that are too tall to plant. I've got potatoes that will need covering and I can't be ar*ed to fight yet more mud, after an evening of it at home. I'm losing the will to live.

It's a beautiful sunny evening here Bins............with pigging hailstones............

[binley100]

I've just resown a lot of my brassicas .......first lot got frazzled , second lot got snailed, am hoping third time lucky .....I thought celeriac like damp ?

Aha I wondered where they had gone ..........
and it's raining again .........

[Florence Fennel]

Fine rain here now, you know, the sort that wets you through and the heating's on as soon will my PJs, I'm not doing a reccy of the garden, not tonight thank you.

[binley100]

That's the point, with everything else, they didn't get damp. They were on my long list of pricking out which I couldn't do because I couldn't get to them because of everything else in there! Long sentence I know - sorry
On the upside I have more celery seedlings than I know what to do with

[Florence Fennel]

So the hail has come from Leeds via Chaventry has it?

[binley100]

Aye but BB had it first............

[CaroltheCarrot]

O dear we are all getting it one way or the other arent we.
My pity party is over,new cover ordered for tunnel,gh triple clipped and siliconed,netting secured with more screws etc into the beds,
the sun is now shining(after more hail)

And Bigmally I dont believe for one second that you would jack it in.
Thanks for cheering me up folks

[veggiechicken]

Aye but BB had it first............

Sorry to disappoint, but it hailed here, just after I put the washing out! The sun still shone through it though! Isn't the weather wonderful

[lottie dolly]

BM,get that fur fluffed up to keep the cold out,plus the weather peeps don't always get quite right,
heating on here to,god help the next bill,
I also have to repete various seed sowings,the clay soil is diabolical to work at the mo,lets hope we have a nice warm autumn,
