Well, at least its a little cooler (only a little) that breeze has been lovely the last day or so. Still shifting soil for my patio, hope to have that done today with the help of my son and then my brother is coming this week to give us a lift with the flags - so hopefully THIS week I'll be sorted.

Potting up some parsley I had sown, its organic seed 'Giant of Italy', also planting out some sunflowers which always seem to get attacked by slugsso I've sown extra just in case. Still finding strawberry plants - thats what I get for growing them in the borders.

Its set to be a little cooler this week with chance of thundery showers, but I don't think anyone will mind that, another week like last week and they'll declare a hosepipe ban I'm sure. I remember this time last year when growers in the South East were struggling because of lack of rainfall and many crops were lost. So glad to be living in the NW.
