Well it’s raining yet again.
I’ve got ‘Bud Drop’ on the sweetpeas, the roses are ‘Balling’ and the poppys are soggy.
At least someone managed to keep dry.
Mrs Toad with her house mate the snail….all nice and dry under an old broken clay pot.

Excerpt From ‘The Land’ by Vita Sackville West.
When skies are gentle, breezes bland, when loam that's warm within the hand falls friable within the tines, sow hollyhocks and columbines.

Wet here today as well, Sue, and I have found some very brazen slugs tonight which were definitely NOT sheltering in an empty pot….. I have not come across ‘bud drop’ on sweet peas before – what causes that?

I have had to read up on this as I haven’t had it before, but it’s probably due to cold / damp conditions…enough said.

I left a comment here yesterday that went into a black hole.
I love your toad. No rain today but this wind is even more destructive.
I’ d rather rain because then at least the garden would get watered.
