Did I say I like rain??

Well i think we have had enough now.

All fun and games with this weather isn't it. Very hot still at times, then cold and here comes the down pour just as the children are coming out of school.

Well in the back garden I have another cucumber coming along and the aubergine are still growing to my surprize.

The tomatoes in the conservatory are how upto third truss and tomatoes growing, gave them some feed yesterday to help them. Another Allotmenteer did a trial and said if you want nice good quality tomatoes grow in pots for as long as you can before you plant them in the place as you don't get such big leaves and this looks to be true.

The cauliflower seedling are doing ok so far, just replanted in trays and have to keep them till next year before they can go in the ground at the allotment. Now thats the hard bit, getting them to grow bigger without being eaten or not watered enough. This time I have brought John Innes compost hoping that paying more i'll have better results.

And while I was taking all these pictures in the garden the chickens were making noises so i had to take their pictures too.

Popped there this evening a quick visit mind you as it gets dark so early.

All my lettuce seed that sprouted have been eaten, yes all of them so looked like i'll have to try again. Now i'm not wanting to you those blue pellets anymore so if anyone else has any tricks please let me know. Radish are doing good and the spinach I sowed the other week is just coming through.

Sprayed the savoy, spring cabbages, brussel sprouts & curly kale to try and reduce the white fly. Cut some of the brussel sprout leaves off don't know why just felt like it.

Picked a small handful of french beans to go with dinner tomorrow and now it was dark and time to go. Boots caked in mud trying hard to get it off before I got in the car.
