Same here ...I could get used to this! ( particularly if we have one day of rain and 6 of sun/ warmth! )

Morning awl

Bit of tidying the raised beds to get done this morning & then a dash for the south coast via a pub in Tintern for the best steak & ale pie in Wales

NVG let some of your radish go to seed I think the pods taste nicer than the actual radishes themselves, give it a go.

Thanks for that tip Bren. How do you use the pods? Any good in stir fries?

[Martin H]

Morning all! Lovely and sunny again here, although my hangover spoils it a little bit. Maybe I'll have a fry-up for brunch, that'll probably fix it.

Radish pods are lovely raw in salads. I haven't tried stir-frying but they would probably lose that fresh crunchiness.

Back to the watering regime today, I think. I didn't get down the allotment yesterday, the compost heaps took me all afternoon to sort out and then I had to go drinking obviously. I've got 180 litres of riddled garden compost to ship down there, after that I ran out of bags and spread the rest under and around plants in the back garden. I now have one full compost bin cooking and one almost empty. I'll do it all again in the winter.

I have only just woken up ! (Hangs head in shame) I am now all out of synch with my day. Only woke up as I was hot and coming downstairs and into the garden confirmed it. Best have that shower and try to catch up if I want to get to the allotment later.

We've had them in stir-fries and they're fine but most of mine get eaten in the garden.

We've been out on the motorbike and I made the mistake of not taking out my jacket lining so it was a bit hot. well roasting really.

Go back to bed! Just sitting in the kitchen and as Im reading this, I can hear the first drops of rain hitting my conservatory roof...

hopefully it won't last all day.

coffee?

why not?

[JanieB]

Weathers not doing anything here. Good morning by the way. I'll skip the coffee 'til later, I'll have tea thanks.

[Nannysally99]

I've just had tea Carrie, thanks. Sat in the garden with hubby and visiting Son. Bet the neighbours loved us at 7 am.
Weather doesn't look all that yet, but there us a promise of sunny weather later.
Off to the charity shop this morning, looking forward to that
Picking the last ish of the strawberries later, might freeze a few more.
Have a great day folks
Oh, I do have a couple of tiny tomatoes coming -yay

[Bren In Pots]

Morning had my stroll around the garden just a bit of light rain was it made everything look fresh.

[Dorothy rouse]

Morning everyone, phew, what a hot night here, tine for the 1 tog duvet I think! No sign of rain here, so lots of watering up on plot, and time to feed the tomatoes!

Lots to do, shopping (groan), domestic stuff (groan), but meeting friends later, so thats nice, best get up.

[Martin H]

Morning everyone!

Just going to have breakfast and water the greenhouse, then Mrs H and I are off for a day at the seaside.

Take it away, Chas and Dave...

[Jay22]

Morning all, dull and raining here again but looks as though it's clearing up later YAY! Last big clear out of the kitchen today before work starts on Monday...looking forward to it being finished. Plumber was supposed to come yesterday afternoon to take down the new radiator in case it gets damaged during the works, but true to form, he arrived yesterday morning just as I stepped into the shower. Kept knocking on the door so I thought, well you can just wait until I'm dressed. It was funny though as when I eventually opened the door he handed me a towel! I have decided to buy him a watch for Christmas.
Anyhoo, hope you all have a lovely day!

Forgot to say enjoy your day at the seaside Martin and Mrs. H.
