Well after some torrential rain in the night we now have wind gusting
to well over 50 mph and forecast to get stronger.
Got 3 chrysanthemum beds prepared early in the week though it was
rather like stirring cold rice pudding, but with ground cover fabric
down I don't need to get onto the soil, though I can see me planting
from duck boards, though they do say next week will be better.

Same sort of day here, David. The wind has gone now, thank heaven, as
has the rain though that was intermittent. The forecast for the w/e is
pretty good, I think.


Well the wind has eased up a bit here, but we had 15 hours with it
gusting to 50 mph or over with 2 hours of it gusting over 60 mph.
The last 48 hours have given us over 1.5 inches of rain with more to
come overt the next few days, and the forecast is for wind till at
least mid week.
In this sort of weather it's easy to forget that things inside still
want watering.

Lol! From my window, I can see Ray out in the biggest greenhouse, doing
the watering. With everyone at it, it can still take a couple of hours
to get everywhere done. It's a bit breezy today with the odd flurry of
raindrops but a much better day than yesterday. The birds are dashing
about madly and the scent coming in the window from the Rosa Banksiae
lutea and the unknown Lonicera beside it, is just gorgeous. We have
some cardoons in one of the pond borders, beside the obelisks and their
rate of growth has been quite staggering. They're certainly extremely
eye-catching!
