The big plan today was to take our lunch to the garden and put the plastic cover on the new polytunnel,
with Anne and Ian. But it was not to be. There were some very heavy downpours and they do suggest that it is done in sunshine so that the plastic is easier to handle and will stretch more.
We dodged the showers by standing in the old greenhouse and in between we weeded the whole polytunnel area.
This is what it looked like yesterday.
And here it is at the end of today.
The sun did come out in the end but by then it was too late to start.
We didn`t have time to do any strimming.
Anne pointed out how well the damson was doing. Just hope nothing gets to the crop before it`s ripe.
I am pleased with the way the helichrysum is growing but unsure how soon to take the mini-tunnel off.
I love the long grass round the pond but the levels have gone down quite a lot in the heat of the last few days.
I am very happy with the way the sedum is rooting on the insect hotel.
The next plan is to try again next weekend and I am hoping we can get the tomato plants in very soon.
