Morning all, went to see keith yesterday afternoon. Last night watching tv,Picnic at Hanging Rock and in between the European Championship Games.

Oh, dear! Didn't know you had been dry for so long. Keep you in my prayers to heavens! Birmingham can't be as hot as Essex. I will still pray for you, sis!

Thanks @alp i think it's making up for it now. Started raining yesterday evening, stopped about 8pm. Now it's raining again. Hope you get some soon.

Look good how many plants in total ?

There could be 3 in a pot, so probably 20! I know I shouldn't! It's the first time I have ever done it like this.

Morning @alp, @Leeski and everyone else!

Greenhouse looks good Leeski

Not to blame @alp I haven't been jinxing the thread, this is my first post

We have a steady trickle of rain at the moment, so all is good

Agree alp I have a right old collection of pots of various, shades, shapes and sizes....pain to store!

Lovely looking tomatoes @alp , hubs picked another lot of ours yesterday.....this rain will give them a soaking, I hope.We have 1 tom in a pot and the other 6 are planted out in the borders, all are doing really well despite the hot weather....surprisingly!!!

I am telling you. I checked the post and it had the time and no date. I was so surprised. So I refreshed the page and the post is gone!

Are they pointy sweet peppers? I love them. Only bought them reduced though. Stored a lot of seeds, but no joy as I never put them inside the lean to and there was one 1/5 of the normal size and of course, consigned to the bin!

Hope so. Need a lot of rain just to wet the wood chips. They are all over the back covering the concrete and hopefully reducing the heat in the future!

Yer home - needed to prep some beds for late veg . Sorted my toms out or triffids before and after pics
Was like a scene out of Edward scissors hands lol

Looks nice and tidy now, I've got mine outside, but they split before they just start to ripen. I should water them twice a day, but i forget.

 

[alp]

I think I will still leave them there as they have 12 hours of sun from that spot. Sorry for your splitting toms, logan!

It's still there @alp...above your lovely Echinacea pic

 

[alp]

No, it's after as it had no date! Perhaps the air has got to me!

 

[Logan]

Just put put the beef in to cook for dinner.
Made the redcurrant summer pudding.

Lets blame the air @alp
Just checked my ' content' on my profile page to make sure I wasn't ' sleep posting '.not me!! ( this time)

 

[alp]

@Upsy Daisy I must say the content of that post was similar to the one above the echinacea!
