I'm hoping I will be allowed back soon and am keeping my fingers crossed. After work today I re-potted my petunias, lavender and the verbascum's and watered in the grass seeds. I wish everything grows quickly so when my parents finally visit the garden looks better than now. I have £45 left to my name and 6 days till payday.

Make sure you give them plenty of water or this heat will kill them. It’s a shame the sun doesn’t seem to kill the weeds though 😆

well done on having £45 left so close to payday 🤗

I bet your plants look lovely and smell divine. If you are having a heatwave prepare to pop out twice a day to water them.

Good idea, I went to look at the greenhouse it is fine. The garden isn't looking colourful just really green as i murdered my original petunias!!!! Work was busy and now I have just mowed the grass. It was 29 degrees today. I have had to put the fan on. 5 days till payday. Everyone is having plant sales online and I really want to buy some but cant afford to. Still it gives me something to save for next year.

Next year you could grow your own flowers and save a fortune. I dont go with bedding plants but have some beautiful geraniums that I grew from seed and they last outside all year quite happily. Sounds like you have kept busy, hope the heat isnt getting to you too much x

Hello my lovely it is 30 degrees today I am not very confident in growing seeds. I don't think anything I have planted has ever grown. I am good with plug plants though. I watered the garden tonight and can see that the grass is growing back from all the feed and weed i have put out. I drenched the greenhouse tonight and am hoping I will have some decent flowers to make some features in my garden. 4 days till payday so excited. I hate being poor. I just want to buy plants but cant.

Today I reckon will be quiet at work so I am planning to empty out all of my store cupboard/room and reconfigure it as it is looking messy. It should take most of the day. I do have a tiny bit of gardening to do too.

Are you back at work SW. ? Hopefully we will have much cooler weather from tomorrow

Im not back yet I think HR have to authorise it. I'm hoping I can start as soon as my admin duties will start. It is cooler this morning. I have taken half the stuff out of the store cupboard and i am going to be so ruthless. It is so hot. I had to rescue two baby birds from my greenhouse luckily I saw them fly in as it is boiling in there, I have shut the door as another older bird went in too being nosey.

Perhaps you could put a bit of netting over the greenhouse door so that birds can’t get in but you can still leave the door open ? 

It’s cooler here today. No rain or thunderstorms so far !
