    Early start 9.30 a.m.
    Checked on my paint on the tea-house skirt. It was surprisingly quite dry, so it got another coat. It will need one more, it might even get that later today.

    I did the watering that I should have done last night. Pruned multiple new shoots from the base of four wisterias, some over 6 inches long. I only did them three days ago.

    Pruned the roses a bit, then gave them a spray of Sulphur Rose.

    Too hot to be out there this afternoon, watching cricket, golf and tennis on TV.

    @Doghouse Riley what does the sulpher rose have in it besides sulpher, if you don't mind my asking.?.

    I worked on my east facing flower garden early this morning. Weeded, found some crab grass growing in there, amongst other things. Deadheaded my zinnias and roses. Then I found that my morning glories had, as always, started twining up some of the rose bushes, so trimmed those back. Trimmed my jasmine bushes that were growing wild and crazy.

    I made piles of clippings and wIll pick all that up this afternoon when the garbage gets put out as the pile in the ditch sits next to where I put the garbage out for pick up. One trip rather than two.

    I've actually no idea, it's just recommended to control blackspot.

    The second coat applied to the tea-house skirt this morning had dried by mid-afternoon, so it got a third.
    I think it's "good enough."
    The path down there needs a bit of re-pointing, but that can wait for another day.
