Heat wave - ish day 5 ☀️

 A cooler morning with a little sprinkling of rain . Water-barrels remaining at only an eighth full .

It quickly passed over and the hot sun returned .  ☀️ Not sure if it still counts as a heat wave now ?

But while it was a little bit cooler I thought I'd go pick and tidy up the tomatoes in the greenhouse .

The crazy thing on the trellis is a Bowiea volubilis .  

I managed to knock it over while I was scrabbling about on the floor . Hope it'll be o.k.  🤪🌿

                 Very happy with this little lot !

                                                                    ☀️

The postman handed over to me this little package .......

                   ......... 🤔  

I had ordered six Pelargonium Amy Amethyst plug plants . 

Bear in mind , these have travelled from the other side of the country on what turned out to be the hottest days of the year ...... 🤔

It was with great trepidation that I snipped off all that sellotape and opened it up .

Well I'll be blowed ! 🤩 ( an old fashioned expression of surprise or astonishment  🤣 )

                        💜   Just look at this !   💜

So I must highly recommend Bill , the great guy, that I bought these from  on Ebay uk .   The name of their shop being "RAYBOULD PLANTS AND MAGIC TRICKS" .

Lovely large and healthy looking plants with good root system . 

 

I unpacked and potted them all up straight away  .....and there was an extra one !

I don't know how Bill got them all into that little packet !   Very clever ! 

Very happy !  I am going to bring them on in the greenhouse for a while , just let them get their roots down before I plant them outside . 

These are going to replace the sweetpeas  which are going over now .( I did my Sweetpeas way back last November )

These Pelargoniums should give a cheerful display .

I will return them to the greenhouse in the Autumn and plant them out again next year .

Now I must go and pick more beans !  Cheerio my lovelies .

Where ever you are, please take care not to get sun burnt . You are very precious !  

        ........and whatever you do ... make it a great day !
