and mostly sunny again last week, with the temperature the past couple of days heading towards the mid 20’s C/77 F. I spent one morning mostly watering all round the plot, which I do every week if there’s been no rain.
I’ve prepared the areas where I’ll be sowing the dwarf French beans Tendergreen, Sweet Corn Sundance and tomatoes Outdoor Girl and Yellow Perfection, all of which I’ll be sowing or planting out in the next couple of weeks.
I think that the flower seeds I’ve sowed recently may be a bit hit or miss this year due to the lack of rain, but there are plenty of self-seeded ones appearing.
I’m pleased that for the first time I have a group, of nearly flowering, Forget-me-nots in a group at the top end of the flower patch by the road-way.
It looks like being a good year for raspberries and strawberries judging by the number of flowers and bees buzzing round them.
The weeks highlight has to be the rose Pretty Lady in full bloom.
Have a good week, and take care.
Flighty's plot 
she is a very pretty blooming lady and she steals the show. Like us, the flowers and fruits deserve some good weather. You may have a very interesting harvest this year.

It sounds as though you’ve had a good week at the plot. Nice to see the healthy forget-me-nots, Pretty Lady in bloom, and to learn of the bees buzzing around the strawberries and raspberries. Makes my mouth water to think of that harvest to come.

It’s extremely dry. Hoping for a downpour at some point this evening to cheer up the soil.
Beautiful rose.

That seems early for ‘Pretty Lady’ rose to be in full bloom! But definitely a fave. We’re low on rain as well, but this is much commoner for us than for you. Hope the berries have a great year!
