14th June
Well the thunder storm was a Poor effort, the rain  though very heavy didn't last all that long.
The Lightning quite spectacular  was soon ever,
we certainly needed rain the garden will be overjoyed.
This year the Arum Lilies have excelled themselves, they have never been this good, must have liked the dry spring weather, as have the Chives, just cut the chives back as the were getting out of hand. The John Downey Crab appple tree is overloaded,  sadly I will have to give them away as I still have cupboard full of Crab Apple Jelly, with Jack not being here to ear it.

Well we have had the first rain in over 6 weeks, could have done without the wind though.
The Garden is in full colour and the greenhouse is now coming on, so good to see the tomatoes all with fruit.
As soon as this wind eases off i will put out the baskets permanently.
I always feel a great relief when I do not have to put them in at night!!!!
With all the  permanent outdoor pots all potted upt and looking good, except for the so &so birds digging the young plants out, making a mess all over the Patio, makes me so mad.
Now the garden center is  open I will have to go and buy a new Rhubarb root as mine has died,
I do not seem to be able to keep them growing for more than 4 years, no idea why.
need to go as I want to get 2 or 3 yellow perfumed roses for a change in the front small bed.
