It's that time of year when I plan my week according to the weather forecast. Dry for outdoor work (gardening, drying my washing), wet for indoor work. Wednesday was forecast dry and as I wandered down to the veg patch gardens to hang my washing out on the communal drying lines, the sun felt really no-coat-needed warm. That was fairly early on in the day, within the hour a chill wind had picked up but by then I'd decided what needed to be done.
I gathered my secateurs, garden fork and waste bags and started clearing the veg patch. I'm bored with the perennials and self seeders that I put in the patch over the past ten years, and the borders under the fruit trees are looking very shabby. Plus I have the car park garden to host a few plants for me. It's time for a rethink all round.
