A 'Tuscan' evening

It's 9.40 pm and still 22C out. Like our nights in Tuscany. But on cue (as per BBC forecast) it has just started raining. Heard the lightning on the radio and here it is.

Got the frame up for the shade tunnel - and not much more done today - too hot. The garden is heading to that time where I let things go. If it's happy in autumn, fine. If not, time to let it shut down and stop mollycoddling it. The hanging baskets are dying because I've stopped watering them. The sweet peas are looking thin and tired because I'm no longer removing every last seed pod. Acceptance of impending autumn is good.
