Today I will mostly be doing zip all in the garden, because we've got torrential rain and howling winds

 

i am getting wet and blown off a ladder whilst putting the roofing sheets back into my greenhouse (not funny as i was on nights last night and all i want is to is to climb into a nice warm bed)

 

Watching the wind break all the tender new growth

 

Trying to stop fish escaping from the now overflowing pond

 

Drinking tea, looking out at our pots of sweet pea. Brought three large buckets of mini toms and a bucket of dwarf cues into our back porch. (first time cue grower,I want them to flourish ) Wind not bad now but lots of rain, Hayling Island, M

 

Watched one of my tree peony's being snaped in half

Cherry tree has now tuned next door garden pink

I also doubt that the goldfinch still has a nest in the bamboo

Same here Simbad

 

Even with the rain, I really can't handle being indoors. So today has been spent splitting firewood, clearing the council storm drain in the verge outside the house. That jobs really narks me, as I shouldn't have to do it, but do. I then managed to sneak off to a local garden centre and came back with a rhododendron and azaleodendron. After planting these, I forked over a couple more boarders, collected a load of pine cones for another sculpture, then last of all spent half hour or so pushing yet more sticks into the bee hive log stack.
Sadly time just goes way too quickly.

 

It's been lovely here today, complete contrast to yesterday. I've been on a site visit this morning but got back about lunchtime and am working from home this afternoon, but I took time out to plant a Clematis montana Grandiflora by the fence.

 

First thing am it rained so did a mornign walk in rain then by 10.30 was planting clematis and honey suckle plants in one of my ladies gardens.

And turned out a better afternoon we hav eeven seen a wee bit of sunshine.

So made a start onmy new alpine bed thats all the grit in .

Then to get more compost and dig all in and so ready to play with planting alpine plants and then top dress with alpine grit.

I also would like to add a small ornamental feature to my alpine garden but not sure what to put in .

Ideas would be most welcome.
