              Very busy yesterday - all I had time to do was dash to the allotment, collect the small amount of rain water, pick off a few caterpillars and harvest cucumbers and beans.

                Once it became clear that the hedge was in fact dry enough, everything else had to take a back seat.

                          The workmen rang to say they would be late so I managed to steal half an hour at the allotment and finished cutting down the raspberry canes, also weeded the drive.

                          Thursday - far too busy for any gardening, just harvested cucumbers, beans, leeks and blueberries.

                                Today I did a bit of deadheading and harvested lettuce, peas, beans, pepper and cucumber but otherwise it was damp and drizzly much of the time and the dry spells were when I was working.
