Perfect day...

Steady sunshine all day, the lightest of breezes, 18-24C and still nearly 19C now at 8pm. Spent nearly all day taking cuttings and sowing perennial seeds. Moved some of the successful cuttings out of the polytunnel and into the cold frame - which is full.

We had another go at constructing a shade tunnel out of plumbers polypipe, but I think we're heading towards a simple wooden frame - everything else seems too complicated.

Also had a go at filling the hold in C&R's lawn - a rectangular dip about 3' x 2'. Folded back the lawn and filled in with compost and sand. Might have to do a bit more levelling when it settles.

My hands are grubby and slightly tingly from handling gritty compost. I'm well and truly ready for the brill and home grown runners that OH is cooking for us. Wonderful.
