Morning all and @Upsy Daisy cold morning today. All the windows are steamed up and had a cold walk with barley not long ago.

@Leeski those dishes look great, haven't grown squash for a few years, haven't got room.

@Perki hope that you're not coming down with a cold and have a good time.

Morning
Couldn’t have picked a worse day to plant my seedlings planted about 70 seedlings yesterday all edibles been battered by heavy showers all night not looking good :-(

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Oh no!! That's a shame. Are they ' gonnas' or could they perk back up once they have dried off a bit???

Not sure to early to tell as soon as it stops raining will cover them with something really windy as well not a great start to the day :-(

Good morning to all: Talking to yourself? Nothing new there. A very good way to organise your thoughts and everything else. I do it all the times. No harm there!

@Perki Have a good time and I hope you've over your cold now. Hope you take some medicine and lemon and honey to get better.

Even though I worked from 9 to 4 yesterday, I couldn't sleep very well and it took me a while to settle and so got up 6.30 and I did an hour of watering, especially the sweetcorn with red tussles. Will go out to do the lawn mowing. This is just to say hello and have my tannin fix!

@Leeski Oh, dear! Heartbreaking! Hopefully, the rain will have given them a good send off and that they look worse than they are. Now, you might have to look out for seedlings. When there are new seedlings, they go crazy, not to say after heavy rain. I wish I had some of you and Perki's rain, my ground is still bone dry. Such a sheer drop of temperature might damage my tomatoes.

Got to mow the lawn.

So sorry to hear that, keeping my fingers crossed that all will be well with them

@Leeski sorry about your seedlings, they might be better than you think. As long as they're not lettuce seedlings, usually they're quite robust little things

 

[Leeski]

Looks like today is going to be one of those days got to repair greenhouse also as broke 2 panes of glass being a clumsy clot

Hi there @alp!
That's often the way I've found, having had a particularly busy day and then experiencing difficulties dropping off to sleep....could be an active mind going over the day's event's.

Our rain forecast has shrunk some what......looks like its now set to arrive later( if at all!) Bright start to the day down here.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

@Leeski..... If I were you I'd go back to bed and start again!!!

Did the weather break the glass!
