The sun has returned, it feels so good, so warm and fresh. Gardening is a pleasure on these days when nature fills you with wonder, and Monty is back on Gardeners World, the world is well again....

What funny weather we have had this year; as I write it is pouring with rain; as I cleared the allotment yesterday and dug down I was amazed how deep the wet soil went; I can almost see the weeds growing. My onions aren't ready. There are looking great, but maybe this wetness won't be good for them.
