Felt quite chilly this afternoon, after yesterdays heatwave!
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

The 'heatwave' has quite caught my face but as Old H' comments this afternoon it seemed relatively chill as the breeze picked up.
I see it's back down to a low of 3C overnight..
It's been quite overcast most of the day. I returned to the beetroot patch and got that sown, with water run along the open drills before placing the seed in.
Then the Radeo pea went in 3 seeds wide flat drill.
The pear blossom seemed particularly strong today..

End of the real warmer weather for a bit after tomorrow but not bad temp wise & only drizzle mostly. I will take the opportunity tomorrow to fill the water butts as no-one will be down, but won't have to do a full water of the plots with rain coming; (fingers crossed)! Time to get on with some planting out & sowing done; wonder if the Brassica's have decided to play yet? I plan to direct sow to fill any gaps as it's getting kinda silly & a bit of an expense buying seeds all the time & I've got some neomodes too, but haven't seen too many slimy things to worry...yet!
I am a bit concerned about quality of this years seeds though as lots complaining online as well. You guys noted anything? Same supplier as usual for me as bought via the site deal but leaning toward compost being the issue.

Cooler to-day, spent most of my time mowing the lawns and then potting on some plants in the green house. Hoping for some light rain to help me rotovate the patch of dried up ploughed ground that is very cloggy and hard.
