Unfortunately I was busy yesterday morning and it became very showery in the afternoon, preventing me from visiting the allotment for any amount of time. We then had a thunderstorm that dumped a load of hail and I spent all the time I had scooping a dustbin full off the nets and tunnel roof and also rescuing a potted tomato plant that had blown over in a sudden gust of wind.
No gardening time today and unlikely to be any tomorrow.Last edited by Penellype; 12-09-2024, 07:37 AM.

Rain scuppered any chance of gardening at times when I was free to do it on Monday, and it rained most of the morning today too. I scooped up about 3 dustbins full of water off the paths at the allotment yesterday. Shut the greenhouse and growhouse as it is going to be chilly for the next few nights.

Gardening was curtailed because every time I went outside it started to rain. Not enough to be useful, just enough to be unpleasant.
