How's your garden looking after fine weather and time?

Recommended Posts

I just wasn't thinking- I love a bargain - it was going cheep!

I got mobbed by nearly twenty crows after that pun- they are a local gang called Corvid 19....

 

I can only apologise.

At last we have cloudy weather.

This gives all my plants in the shade a chance to catch up.

Last week, on a sunny morning, light level on the patio was 100,000  +  lux.

In the shade in the area that gets evening sun, it was 2,500.

The next morning, same time, it was cloudy. Patio light level 20,000 lux.

Shady spot level was 7,800......!

Lux.... the alluring world of French roses, each flower carefully picked.....seriously though, had more sushine in the month of May than my panels have ever recorded in any previous calendar month.... but now I need a holiday....... a few wet days makes you quickly forget

Good bargain - feather in your cap, and with those kind of bargains you can build up a good nest egg. But it must have been a bit of a flap when the crows beaked in - bleedin' stone me !  Could drive you cuckoo. Would have been interesting to have had a bird's eye view though.

Well what a superb day it's been today. Blue sky, sun and just comfortable temperatures. Sat out in the garden for a couple of hours. Very quiet - no birdsong now, except for the wood pigeons. Also, no planes again, after making a re-appearance a few weeks ago. Sky silent for the entire 2 hours.

Bees are still at the remaining flowers, but not many wasps this year. Not round here at any rate. There were a lot late Summer last year.

Such a great spell of weather- I cleaned the shed out, cleaned the greenhouse out, and got my overwintering area sorted.

Pint glass for scale.  Nearly gave myself a hernia lifting those pots..:)

Cleaned the greenhouse out? :o Surely it's too early for your tomatoes to have finished? Still got toms plus cucumbers, aubergines and chillies in mine. :)

Well spotted- I had not a lot extra this year- the Muscat grape ( bad year- grey mould and splitting ), the Solandra and a Cestrum Nocturnum were there as usual,

with the addition of a watermelon, which did very badly this year- red spider, and an enormous plum tomato, which had finished.

actually, I was sick of the mostrosity- stupidly big, and the fruit were tasteless...!

I had 38 tomato plants this year. I grow about a dozen different varieties so I have everything from "garden sweets" to big ones for cooking. :)

I'm hopefully taking delivery of a Spetchley Red grape vine sometime today. Never tried growing a watermelon, or any other melon for that matter.
