What I intend to do today or tomorrow number2

[Penellype]

A combination of complicated factors this weekend meant that almost all the "gardening" I did was taking water to the allotment and watering plants. I have an issue with my car, which has gone to the garage this morning, and as my water carriers can leak a bit, I am reluctant to put them in the garage's shiny new courtesy car. Unfortunately until the garage ring me later today I don't know how long I will be without it - it could be days, weeks or even months depending on supply chains, as a replacement part is needed. I may therefore have to find a plan B (rain would be helpful!!!).

I did manage to harvest strawberries, raspberries, a cherry, a couple of blueberries, a cucumber, tomatoes, peas, potatoes and the first climbing french bean. At some point I also started cutting the leylandii hedge, and I managed a bit more of this yesterday as it is in the shade.
