Wallflowers potted up

Wind damage

The highly unseasonal windy and rainy weather continues. A couple of the potato plants are ailing - I presume they have been battered by the wind.

Updates

In the last couple of days we've had a respite from the heavy rain which seems to have been falling since April. The hosepipe ban has now been lifted in view of the amount of rain we've had.

Heavy rain is forecast for tonight.

A couple of the plants in the first batch of spuds to be planted (on the left above) are flowering. On last week's Gardeners' World, Monty Don said you only need to water spuds while they're in flower.

Tomatoes and courgettes.

French beans

Squash (one of which has been damaged in the wind)

Lawn bed planted up

This year I bought some begonias and pelargoniums (sold as geraniums), as I couldn't get any phlox or asters to germinate. I also planted out rudbeckia, antirrhinum and cornflowers which I grew from seed.
