    Morning folks. Had an excellent day yesterday, even got the puyas out of the ghouse. and popped in about 100 bulbs for the new area. Today has started cloudy but mild and if it stays dry I'll transfer the zantedeschia to the bog bath. They may like it wet but I don't.[​IMG]

    Dry and cloudy and not that warm either compared to yesterday's sun.
    A cooler night is forecast so I will have to turn the heating on in the glasshouse and polytunnel when I go back to work this evening.

    Wet, wet, wet.:mad: But brightened up around 2ish. While it was raining got a fair bit of potting on done, also sowed some sweetcorn seed and took a load of Yoder Mum cuttings. So day was not wasted.:):thumb:

    Gorgeous all day here north of the border. Temperature peaked at 20.1C. Got a few more bedding plants in, dug up the last of the carrots and parsnips (latter was a b***er of a job), planted out squash (under cloches) and levelled the leek bed. Now all that's left from last year is some chard and spinach.
