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.

No winds here today either, but we have a constant, almost mist, fine
drizzle.

Good luck with the Château Hill.
