        Despite a forecast for a dry day, it became increasingly showery and rained all afternoon, making it difficult to do anything at the allotment.

          Having some carpets fitted today but I don't know what time they are coming, so stuck at home until they have finished. Gardening unlikely.

                Rain scuppered any chance of gardening at times when I was free to do it on Monday, and it rained most of the morning today too. I scooped up about 3 dustbins full of water off the paths at the allotment yesterday. Shut the greenhouse and growhouse as it is going to be chilly for the next few nights.

                  Unfortunately I was busy yesterday morning and it became very showery in the afternoon, preventing me from visiting the allotment for any amount of time. We then had a thunderstorm that dumped a load of hail and I spent all the time I had scooping a dustbin full off the nets and tunnel roof and also rescuing a potted tomato plant that had blown over in a sudden gust of wind.

                  No gardening time today and unlikely to be any tomorrow.

                        Been having carpets fitted downstairs which was a bit like moving house, so very little gardening time. Hopefully I will have more time today.
