The weather today?

I have just walked Mot without my ear warmer hat and my jacket not done up, 16°C this afternoon, temperature will be dropping again over the next few days.

Albert has been doing the hanging baskets

His eye not so painful, his vision slightly better

Tomorrow he sees the consultant

Sandra

That's very good news - I'm sure you're relieved Sandra!

Let’s hope Albert is on the mend and the consultant can reassure him all will be well it just needs a bit of time.

The sun was there at 6.30, but now it’s covered with a blanket of cloud, forecast is for rain, the farmers and gardeners will be pleased if it does because the ground is so dry it’s cracking up, and the pea seedlings in the field behind me need rain.

No rain overnight nor now, here in west Wales. The sky hasn't really made its mind up whether its grey or blue yet but no rain forecast so fingers crossed.

Blue skies and sunshine.

Sunny spells, I think possible showers to follow

Sunny spells bring dandelions up. Rain brings dandelions up. When does the dandelion season end?

It's been quite cold with a lot of heavy looking clouds but no rain yet.

Get some Resolver lawn weedkiller Ray - kills the dandelions but not the grass. I use it all the time, great stuff.

Try and catch them before the big fluff balls appear and shed their seeds if you can (it may be too late) otherwise that's the second crop this year and next years crop, ready to go :grin2:

My wife, the eggspurt G, says to dig em out with her patent weed excavating tool. But when I do that I end up with small holes all over that the robot drops into.
I will spend on killer to try and keep the gravel clear ish. But it's a hell of an expense to use lawn weed killers. And they are still back next year.

I don't need the lawn to be pristine as no one looks at it apart from the orrible neighbour. Just need to keep it in check and my comfort zone. It's half an acre.

It is raining, thundering and lightning here,

So a bit of music to go with it.:laugh:

Eat them Ray, they are supposed to be really good for you

Pick the young ones

Sandra

I don't think so Sandra. We used to make dandelion wine but as it's only €1.99 here I won't bother.

Morning

Blue sky out there this morning, here in west Wales. we had some rain yesterday late afternoon but nothing forecast for today.

Mainly blue here, hope it warms by lunchtime.

Not a dot of blue, about 50 shades of grey.

Light cloud, light wind and a bit chilly in the shade.

I have just cut the grass and strimmed around the dandelions so that the bees have something to gather nectar from. A lot of people in our village are doing the same.
As Sandra says they are good for you. A cleanser

Boo Pat.
