Spent an hour at the allotments this morning pulling out Mare`s flipping Tail. Odd that Dai as where I used to live in Surrey mares tail was a real nuisance but since I moved to Wales over 15 years ago I haven't seen any which is fine by me.

With apologies A guy went into a French seafood restaurant and asked to see the dishes of the day. The waiter wheeled over a trolley with a large tank full of various species, and the man examined the dishes. "I'll have the little green squid with the hairy lip, please" said the man. "An excellent choice, they have a delicate, mild flavour." replied the waiter and called out "Gervais!" A little French chef appeared with a large knife, the waiter instructed the chef to kill the little green squid with the hairy lip. Gervais was just about to slice at the poor squid when he noticed a tear running down its face. Gervais is touched, and admitted that he hadn't the heart to kill the squid. "Not to worry" says the waiter, and called out "Hans!!" at which an enormous German bloke came out of the kitchen. "Sir", said the waiter, "This is Hans, the dishwasher. Hans kill that little green squid with the hairy lip!" The dishwasher wielded a huge rolling pin and was just about to bludgeon the little green squid with the hairy lip when it cringed back and gave a little cry. "I am sorry sir, I just cannot kill the squid" Hans admitted, his lower lip trembling. "Well sir," said the waiter, "it just shows...... That Hans that do dishes, can be soft as Gervais, with mild green, hairy lip squid!"

I picked one of the hottest days of the year so far to take all the bedding plants & seedlings out of the greenhouse & take out the shelving. I put a couple of growbags with growrings & bottomless pots in & planted them up with 6 different varieties of tomato plants & put 5 big pots in & planted them up with cucumber & tomato plants. Put some of the seedlings back in for now & watered everything, sweat was dripping down my face! Better that than BLOOD!

clematis montana rubens and Campanula carpatica plus a few weeds click to enlarge looks like a lovely secret area in there sweetpea . Love the shade of pink Have a white one too Bridie but in an other area. The 'Ramp' is just to get the lawnmower up the steps. You wouldn't believe the wildlife that has been seen in that area. Birds, bats, badgers, foxes, slow worms other lizards stag beetles moles the list goes on.
