    As I am ever the optimist - one can hope. [​IMG] Know the feeling about tender plants under glass - got some precious plants from Florida and Atlanta, and I too am running out of room.

    Now where is that rain? Lorra clouds but water, no.

    After yesterdays work tidying up cranebills and buddleias, the break from gardening is good. Todays a day for planning the autumn changes!

    Had about 6 hours of steady rain this morning, stopped now and the suns out, but everythings had a good soak, must be at least 2 months since we've had anything like it.

    Here too - steady rain sine 10.0 am, and whilst the sun is briefly out, looking at the clouds more is on its way. Very welcome - though my flowers are just a little hang down, especially the roses. I too watered yesterday - well, if it rained, fine, and if it didn't that was fine too.
