              Also trimmed back some over-enthusiastic ash branches in the hedge.

              I wasn't expecting to get much done today as I planned to spend most of it painting, but I have managed to mow the back lawn and harvest peas, a turnip, raspberries and strawberries.

              No gardening time tomorrow.

                            • Yesterday I did manage to beat the thunderstorms and tied in the tomatoes, melons and cucumbers, generally checked supports in the hope of minimizing damage from heavy rain, trimmed finished fruiting stems and runners off the strawberries at home and harvested a courgette, tomatoes, an onion and a bucket of potatoes.
