    Oddly,for the UK we have had quite a long spell of warm and sunny weather this Summer (not so much today though)and everything has leapt into life and production!!

    The stuff in the greenhouse has gone completely crazy and I now have just enough room to squeeze in to do the watering!!

    So far we've had a wonderful strawberry crop,raspberries,peas,mange-tout and french beans.The courgettes are growing nicely but the tomatoes will be late as I didn't sow any seed until April.

    Those Lucifers are beautiful. I have them here too and they're putting on a wonderful show just now. My tomatoes were planted late as well but I have lots of flowers so, hopefully, will have a good crop soon. My peppers are coming into bud so, fingers crossed, the good weather lasts for a few weeks longer.

    Thank you. The discs are supposed to clatter and keep the birds off...did you notice I said "supposed to"? Sadly the birds haven't realised this...ho hum.
