Default What a change

Well another day and it looks like a different season.
Gone is the rain and the gale force winds, just sunshine and a light
zephyr of a breeze.
I've had a walk round and apologised to the species dahlias I planted out
2 days before that weather hit, as I don't speak Mexican I don't know if
they were swearing at me, but they don't look to bad.
The first of the runner beans are starting to show through, so I did a
quick spray to knock the newly emerged weed seed on the head and to cut
down on future weeding.
Tied up a few of the grapevines, will have to do more asap, but they are
all carrying a lot of flower bud, so who knows, this could be the year of
Château Hill, but I won't dust off the press just yet.
Now all I have to do is to pot and plant out a few thousand dahlias and
I'm done (well except for every other job that is waiting to be done.

Agree with you David, quite pleasant now. Had to go to the Theatre this
morning to take some 'stuff' in for various people and it was a change not
to be battling against head winds and rain.
