    Away all day Tuesday and unexpectedly stayed over night, so very little time today. The one job I really wanted to do was pick the remaining blueberries and take the net down before Friday's gales. I've done this as I won't have any time for gardening tomorrow.

    Busy couple of days but managed to do a bit of deadheading and put some home collected pea seeds to soak to see if they are viable. Some are already forming roots.
