Morning all

Blimey, we had some rain in the early morning. It woke me up at about 4am.

 

[Dave7]

Very wet here and due to get more wetererer as the day goes on. Thunder and lightning now forecast for 1400.
As mentioned.....today is our 52nd anniversary. Now be honest, I don't look old enough do I .
Ribeye steak, chips etc for our meal. We tend to enjoy such meals at home as we will both have a drink and I quite enjoy cooking it. (Thats the meal I cook, not the drink Classic )
Maybe cheese and crackers to finish.
Have a good, if soggy day everyone.
BTW......has anyone not got rain ???

Nope, I think it's pretty widespread today.

Good morning. It's heaving down here and has been since 5.00am. went to bed at 9.00 last night and didn't wake properly till 7.20!

@Dave7 many congratulations to you both. 52 years is a very long marriage and I'm sure we all understand how this means real work and commitment. 🥂

As for your tomatoes? Important stuff now. If you can post a picture it would help. Are these small spots with a brown centre where the leaf looks papery? The outer edge of the spot might be black or purple.

No I don't use any chemicals. Our garden and allotment are 100% organic apart from using Tomorite plant feed.........I can't be arsed with all the mumbo jumbo about making one's own fertiliser out of rotting vegetable mater, trod by virgins and filtered through satin stockings.

I shall do some household admin and a jigsaw today. Might start looking for a new winter bike........this will mean checking the value of our savings for the first time since Covid-19 struck.

Congratulations @Dave7
Do you reckon she's a stayer?

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Morning all, it will come as no surprise to hear it’s raining here too.
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Dave7 !

 

[Dave7]

Congratulations @Dave7
Do you reckon she's a stayer?

Well she keeps asking me to leave but insists she has the house and bank account.
She says she will let me keep my bike and golf clubs though.
I reckon I am stuck with her

I have no idea what cherry tomato plant leaves should look like.
These look wrinkly to me......should they be??
They are all green and TBH only one of the leaves looks as though it has a problem (see photo).



Should I remove that leaf ??
