                        Overnight rain (unexpected) left everything rather wet for things like weeding, but there was water to collect and I rearranged it a bit so there is plenty of space in the water butts attached to roofs in preparation for storm Floris. Also dug the compost out of the bottom of the hotbin.

                          Apart from collecting as much rain water as possible, I don't anticipate that the weather will be suitable for gardening today.

                              I had that problem last year with tall cosmos plants - I thought the pots they were in were big and heavy enough to be stable but they weren't.
