As we mentioned, the weather here has been odd but the combination of the sun and rain is making things grow like mad! The side bed up near the house (above) is getting off to a great pace with the assorted bulbs we got from Lldl breaking through and the sweet pea seedlings started off on the kitchen windowsill not being eaten by slugs.
Even the combined wild bed and vegetable patch (above) is looking a bit structured this year rather than the usual anarchic horticultural madness! We still are pondering what to do with the side of an old shed at the back. Any ideas?
As for the weather, someone once said to us “Wouldn’t it be great if it only rained at night and was sunny during the day. Us gardeners would be so happy”. If only life really was like that.

Can you take the weather forecasters to court? Surprisingly … not.
Except if they spread fake news.
That’s it! Someone once half jokingly told us that they’d like to take the weather forecasters to court as their clothes drying on the washing line were soaked by a sudden downpour “It didn’t say it would rain on the weather forecast. Could I sue them?” The courtrooms would be very full in our experience. Then again it’s only a forecast!
How’s the weather at the moment over there?
