      I do the same - especially since I've taken down the big table on the balcony for the summer! In fact just this morning I was repotting my Dragon trees in the kitchen! My "forest" just keeps getting bigger! I repotted about 8 of them I think today! I still have another 1/2 dozen that I repotted a few months ago! (done in the kitchen as well!)

        Just did some deadheading of the Petunias & Geraniums on the balcony today. I also watered the hanging baskets. I wasn't going to at first after the two heavy, but brief, downpours yesterday but after felling their weight I thought it best to water them. It's a daily job now & for some strange reason the basket furthest from the balcony door is always the driest!

                    Fine but surprisingly wet constant drizzle, I've come in soaked!
                    I keep all my best Lillies in pots so l've moved them from here..

                    to here....before the strong winds hit tomorrow. Just hope the greenhouse stays intact as it usually gets knocked about a bit as it's in the normal line of fire for all weather disruptions. :fingers crossed:

                      I was going to carry on with the weeding and lawn edging that I started yesterday but rain stops play. It's only light rain but I'm a fair weather gardener :smile:
