I thought I had posted weekend jobs, but clearly not!
At my friend's I did some weeding, watered the greenhouse plants and harvested a cucumber.
At the allotment I did some weeding (especially horsetail), cut the grass and some of the edges and tied in the tomatoes, cucumber and melons. Harvested a kohl rabi, courgette, beans, lettuce, beetroot, peas, raspberries and gooseberries.
At home I did some weeding, deadheading and watered the greenhouse. Harvested cucumber, tomatoes, beans and a small pepper.

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.
