Morning its cool today might have to wear a coat along with my jumper

[SusieG]

Morning All..! Wet, wet, wet ...... and I'm not talking about music .......
And more of the wet stuff forecast for the rest of the day ..... It'll be a mooching/pottering in GH sort of day - after I've done the ironing.........
At least everything growing in my SFG beds are all looking nicely green ...... Even got a few beautiful red flowers on runner beans - miracle!

Have a great day folks!

[Scarlet]

Same here Susie the rain is coming down so hard I fear for my windows! Horrible, cold, windy and very wet June day. Fingers crossed please...I would like a dry day soon

[SusieG]

Yup, it's that bad - I've just done a mercy dash out to my runner bean frame which was flapping about alarmingly in the lashing rain and wind .........

[Nannysally99]

Horrible here as well, rain has definately stopped play in our garden

[bearded bloke]

Art noone awl

Today I am mostly getting the last bits (hopefully) of prep' done in the hallway ready for the plasterers on Friday Yes, I know it's Wednesday but I'm allowing an extra day for the law of sod

[Florence Fennel]

Good morning sunny again but for how long? Have a good day

[Snoop Puss]

Sensible man, BB. Wish I were that clever.
Morning, FF.

And hello everyone else. Have a good day.

[Cadalot]

Hi Snoops et al - Raining here but then again I'm in Sutton that is a stones throw from Wimbledon of course it's raining and there I am with two sacks of grass cut Tuesday and two sacks of coffee grounds picked up that need dropping off to the allotment.

Not a happy bunny with the weather

[craftymarie]

Morning all. In a hurry as the sun is out and I want to catch it while it is here I've realised that if you don't pick the mangetout every other day they grow to silly proportions so off to grab some.

[Small pumpkin]

Morning all
I will be playing in the kitchen today. Making lots of things with fish from yesterday's catch. It's all filleted and pin boned already. And I'm going to ( try ) make strawberry mint ice cream.
Have a good day everyone

[SusieG]

I'm not really a glum person by nature ........ But ........

Morning all.

Sun appeared *briefly* yesterday evening ...... And it was out *briefly* this morning .....
Don't think it's here to stay though.... sigh

A quick appraisal of runner frame/beds/GH this morning - frame still up and the two flowers that emerged are now nestling in the soil ....sigh and another slug frenzy .....sigh

Beds have been battered by wind/rain - poppies have been stripped bare of petals and bent at all angles, borage salvaged with the aid of cane and twine ..... sigh

Sweetcorn is going to gave to be earthed up a bit today to strengthen it at root level - else I fear that'll be doomed to the great compost bin in the sky .....

Anyway, on that cheerful note ~ hope you have a productive day!

[Nannysally99]

Morning all, yep it's going to rain again - Arghhh
We gave just seen a sparrow hawk on our lawn and 3 little starlings hiding in our potato bins.
Just love it when the underdog survives.
My onions are residing fairly permanently in the shed, due to inclement weather
All five tomato plants are growing well, so sun would help these in a big way.
Potatoes are coming to the top of tubs now, so covering them up more and more. Must be nearly ready.
Will be card making today, so that will keep me busy for a couple of hours
Have a lovely day all, and if anyone finds the sun, share it nicely please

[SusieG]

One cuppa later, and all's right with the world....!!!!!!
Off out to back garden now, armed with twine, scissors, cane, compost and a big container of slug pellets .....

Must dig out my sunglasses later, ready for when Summer arrives tomorrow..!!!

Got dressed to drop of eldest DD to work as it was raining, then a yellow ball in the sky was trying to make an appearance and the wet stuff has stopped, straight out to decant one sack of coffee grounds into trays that will fit on the wooden shelves I added to the space saver greenhouse in the back garden and around the first row of toms in the flower buckets as a fertiliser and a barrier to wondering slugs who have damaged a couple of low leafs already.
