I have managed to get 4 beds of dahlias planted and just have
another 12 to plant then I will have to make up more for the pot
tubrs and seedlings, at this rate I will still be planting into
July.
Still it looks as if it's going to be another good year for apples.

Our lawn which was brown two weeks ago is bright green and from time
to time awash. Bring back the drought!

You say that, but even after the days of torrential rain, you dig
down 2 inches and it's still solid and dry!

Not here, the water table is back where it was in winter - just below
the surface. The ground is nothing but sand here.

I just wish we could have a bit of sun. Even in the "drought" it was
generally overcast and cold.
