Morning again, everyone.  Welcome to the last weekend in May and it promises to be a very pleasant weekend indeed, even if tomorrow is rather more cloudy.

Yesterday was good.  I was pleased with the weigh in results at SW and I won the raffle - strawberries and meringues; I passed the meringues on as I don't want them at present.  The strawberries were - still are - delicious.

After a Morrisons shop where I was very well behaved and dealing with the aftermath, the plan pot wheels arrived and ooops - I had made a very silly mistake and they were way too small as the pot is very broad based.  I did try but it was just too unstable.  So I just went ahead  and filled the pot anyway and will just have to drag it slowly, if needed.  I'm sure I will find a use for the castors at some point.

At least the rhubarb should be comfortable enough and now I am looking forward to next year.

The tomatoes are looking happy - most of them have started their first truss of flowers now and it's very exciting.
I say the same every year but it really is.  😊

While on the subject, can we just admire my baby cucumbers for a moment or two.   Cute, aren't they.
And the other one, the one that should produce full sized cucumbers, looks as if its first offering is female too.  I need to do a Google, I think . . .  

no, it does produce both male and female so maybe it's just pot luck that the first one is female.

And a final, rather poor, show off photo for today - while I won't get as many blueberries as I did last year, there's still plenty coming on so no grumbles.  And to think that a few years ago (three or four, maybe) the plant was given its Last Warning.

I will be gardening again this morning but not at home.  Our local Anglican church has a community garden, just a small one, and I'm popping along to help out.  It may be something I would like to commit to longer term, we will see.

I need to feed Bubbles so I can start Lindsey's loaves off this evening.  Half term week is over and things will be back to normal on Monday.  It has been a nice week and I'm glad I didn't have classes in the heat but it is always nice to resume routines again.

Have a lovely day, wherever you are and whatever you have planned.  See you again tomorrow.  xx
