Diary of a weekend gardener

If it's not one thing it's another

So, the temperature's improved - up to 20C. Blue skies and fluffy white clouds. But now the wind has picked up - gusts of 20mph in the last hour. The pumpkin cloches have slipped their moorings and are careering across the lawn. The happiest plants are the ones in the polytunnel (or 'polytonal' as I saw printed a few days ago). They're warm, protected from the wind and with a friendly resident frog to eat the slugs. Not a bad life.

Reluctantly, I'm off to the regional temple (The Trafford Centre) to purchase the youngest a leaving-do frock. She hates frock shopping and so do I so it should be fun.... of a sort.
