    Won't have much time for the garden today as I've other jobs on the agenda,
    But everything is progressing well.

    More rhodo blooms out.

    Blooms on the Sambucas.

    More roses coming out.

    More unwanted growth on the top of the wisteria, which needs pruning. The white one hardly shows from this angle.

    But you can see it when you walk under the pergola.

    Even the lawn is recovering.

    My bit of woodworking looks quite good with the sun on it.

    I put a lot of water on both gardens last night.

    Trimmed the "skirts" of the acer palmatums, pruned off some wisteria shoots, did more watering. So far, no immediate likelihood of a hosepipe ban.
    As it's so dry, I'm not cutting the lawn tomorrow, as short as I usually do, I'll take my Flymo up a notch.

    Another no gardening day today because everything is wet and not drying due to the overcast skies. I put some sticks around the outside edges of the raised bed that my bush beans are in, then strung string from one to another to help support the bush beans that were hanging left and right after the rain. Picked some tomatoes and that's the extent of it for today.

    Thank you @Sjoerd and @Zigs


    Some days ago i cut back a old and dying lavender and put this variegated one in It's place and some red wild poppy seedlings in front of it.
    The old lavender might grow back but they say that they don't from old wood.

    Just collected a lot of fallen wisteria blooms and did some watering, (I also cleaned my golf clubs, golf shoes and my car)
    Didn't cut the grass, as I'm letting it grow to the next "Flymo height." Watched on TV, both Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper win their respective matches.
