Diary of a weekend gardener

No watering worries here....

We've been away for 4 days in Orkney and although the polytunnel is on automatic, the rest of the garden is reliant on the elements. I needn't have worried. My trusty weather station recorded 7mm yesterday and 13mm in one big downpour this afternoon. The pond is full and the lawn is squelchy.

Picked 2lb of rasperries and some beetroot leaves for tea.

Orkney was beautiful. Surprisingly green and fertile, much enhanced by great weather. The picture below was taken from our B&B bedroom window.
