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.
