You're lucky on two counts @Perki ...you have rain AND red tomatoes!!!!
We have dry borders and plenty of green tomatoes

 

[Perki]

did you get a picture of the leaves of that white flower yesterday @Upsy Daisy

 

[Upsy Daisy]

I knew you were going to ask me that.... sorry I forgot. Will definitely take one tomorrow. Mind you I noticed as I was leaving this morning that the last bloom had fallen of , so not too sure what the leaves will be like if I remember correctly they are quite fine and delicate looking leaves.

Will post a pic tomorrow....promise

It's so cold now, but the air was so bad that I opened my fanlighter and the noise is just horrrendous! Now it's even colder.

Are you 100% over your cold now, @Perki ?

We were supposed to have 30% rain, but I don't think so. Will take more helenium Short and sassy cuttings. I have a very tall yellow helenium, but i am not sure if I can take cuttings. Going to keep some cupcake seeds for you, @Upsy Daisy . Now they do look like a cup! Off to bed now before I'm in-/ exhaling some dodgy fumes. I could feel them in my nostrils!

Good night, everyone!

Must be off. Not feeling very well. Son said they are making Monkey Dust! Will I drop on the ground and pass out!?

Lemon and honey / whisky is what you need. I need to sleep in a forest! I'm being serious. My nostrils and throat are feeling dodgy! Off to upstairs. Hopefully, it is better!

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Thank you so much @alp that would be smashing, your cupcakes look fabulous!

Shame you're feeling so cold, we're not too bad down here.
Don't think we have much chance of rain judging by tonight's forecast

We were planning on going across to Dorset tomorrow, but haven't heard back from friends yet to see if they are still down there or not.
We don't want to chance a wasted journey.

Oh dear just read that you're not feeling well @alp...sorry to hear that, take care.

Thanks for the link will have a good look at it .

Sleep well.

Just got up to see the ground covered by some spots .. it must have showered, not rained.

Will do more amistad cuttings and other salvia cuttings. I have 3 Salmon Dance cuttings and they are all flowering. What other cuttings are you doing please?

I need to draw pic or take photos of what I have planted or I will plant on top of them.

Another coolish day .. autumn is here with a bit of sadness!

Morning, @Leeski

I should be doing that then I wouldn't be locked in the living room.

What is the compost for? What other seeds are you sowing now please? How much worm cast have you got then?
