Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Tuesday. Overcast again. Very little air movement. A bit on the cool side.

Tiggy didn't stay out long, a wee rootle about and then his supper and back to bed. I don't know if he came out again.

Lunch out today. :o}

Have a happy day everyone.

Good morning to you too waterboatman
Not such a good one weatherwise though and I'm only up because of the storm out there which woke me.Chucking it down and clapping away out there.I get a bit jittery when there's a storm so am up drinking tea and eating toast.I won't survive the day ..lol.

[waterboatman]

Morning shaney. :o} I take it you are in the east of the country?

Tea and toast. Lovely. :o}

I like watching thunderstorms, but not at this time of day!

[shaneystar2]

Yes ,I'm about as far east as you can get on the coast of Norfolk .Just watching it on Accuweather. It's travelling right up from the south to The Wash.The rest of the map is dry. Seems to have eased off a bit now though so will try for some more shut eye .Have a good day .

[waterboatman]

I'm on the other side of the country in Gloucestershire. Dry here for now.

Sleep well shaney. please come and join us again. xxx :o}

[waterboatman]

Dead on mate. dead on. Bout youse.

Cool here too. summer was nice while it lasted! :o}

[beejay1124]

I think we are to get the weather good for another few days here - will bring the plants on well
my scallions will zoom - hopefully

[waterboatman]

Good luck mate! :o} Lots of dew about this morning. Just as well, I forgot to do any watering last night.

[beejay1124]

rumour has it that morning is best watering time , anyhow wbm

[waterboatman]

is it? Actually, thinking about it, that makes sense. :o}

[beejay1124]

yup - the plants and the ground are warm due to the daytime sun ( if it appears) - and then the plants are shocked with a lashing of cold water
- I fill a few watering cans/ empty plastic drinks bottles and let them sit so as they come to normal temp - rather than dousing the plants with cold running water from the hose- admittedly I have to hose the bigger areas at times tho

[waterboatman]

I have a water butt, so that shouldn't be a problem. There isn't much that
needs watering. Takes about ten minutes to do it. Vera showed me what needs watering \and what can be left to it's own devices.

[beejay1124]

u put any veg in this year wbm ?

[waterboatman]

No mate. I usually put some spuds in containers, but haven't yet this year. I get all my veg, including spuds, from farms, doesn't come much fresher. :o}

[beejay1124]

yup - it is handy for you in your area too

[beejay1124]

have to go and do a few things here now wbm - see ya mate

[waterboatman]

It is indeed. :o}

Have a good'un mate. always good to see you. :o}
