I enjoyed SW group yesterday and had a loss which was a great relief. I picked up my meds from Morrisons and headed home for breakfast - fried tomatoes (from the garden) and egg on toast and very nice it was too.
The rest of the day was spent pottering around doing little this and that stuff. Nothing significant, nothing exciting.
I looked up 'what are my tomatoes not ripening' and discovered that heat can retard ripening. Did you know that? I didn't. It seems that over around 30C stops the lycopene from developing and lycopene is what colours the tomato. That would explain why the tomatoes in the shadier side of the bed are doing nicely while the ones in direct heat are staying obstinately green.
Perhaps, now it appears to be cooling off just a bit, things will start moving.
I've booked a cheeky little SET class with Lindsey online this morning and then I want to spend some time doing battle with weeds. It's one of those wars where no-one seems to win providing I keep fighting but if I stop, they will triumph!
That's a metaphor for life, isn't it?

Take care, all, have a lovely Saturday, whatever you have planned. All the best. xx
Another hot day here and I forgot to water the plants last night-grrrr! Nothing planned here either but I have a couple of sewing jobs to do for my daughter so I’ll probably crack on with those. Catriona
