    I did tell you that, garden wise, things were slow this far North. :grinning: At long last, there are signs of flowering on my Honeysuckle and Clem. Steve.

    For those that had some poppy seeds, the late ones that I decided to sow, are showing signs that I may see at least a couple of late blooms, if the weather holds. Fingers crossed. Steve.

    We had a lovely day here yesterday, and lots of rain overnight, to be greeted with a grand morning. Yes, that is blue sky. :grinning: Will be firing-up the BBQ later. Steve.

    From ten o'clock on Tuesday night, we had 38 hours of not stop rain, brought in off the North Sea on winds to 35 mph. I did move some of my vulnerable pots to slightly more sheltered positions, but some have not survived unscathed. Steve.
