Feeling hot and trying to keep cool
Summer can be many things but I know my fellow MSers can find it difficult to accommodate extremes in temperature. I spent yesterday dodging rain in the morning, travelling across London in trains I used to use all the time, feeling glad I have moved north and am enjoying pastures new. But on a sombre note, I went to a crematorium for a funeral service which was so joyful and both funny and tearful, my system let out a few unfortunate snorts. How my departed friend would have mocked me!
It has meant any thoughts of gardening were somewhat distant and it is only this morning when I looked at my parcel delivered yesterday that I saw my Slugless Pellets had arrived as well as the Easy Mulch soil conditioner. This hopefully will be a game-changer for the slimy creatures and will be applied liberally in the new planters I've ordered.

Yes, that's another birthday treat I used birthday money to get ordered from a local man via Facebook. He's delivering them untreated in the next few days and I have to get some coloured preservers to cover them to match the shed. But it's a plan to use the concrete areas more aesthetically and give me some beds that involve less bending! Method in my reckless spending, I promise. And the first three have arrived! They are very well made and for a good price. He's going to sound out a good roofer for us too. I've ordered paint and the next two planters arrive Monday. Anyone wants his number let me know? More pics will follow.

End of another June
Well, a month of extremes has seen records broken for heat, and the heavens have deluged us in the last couple of days. I have seen a hot sports day and one where rain stopped races. And I have some new garden accessories in the shape of wooden planters which have been made for me by a local man who delivered then unpainted for me to colour them as I wished and I got some colour paints from a local Wilkos.. And the pictures I added show the painted and filled planters!
