garden.

snap. isnt it a fantastic time of the day. but now my tummy thinks its nearly lunch and its only 8.30. I'm going to make like a hobbit..... [second breakfast for those who dont know the habits of middle earth]

im just thinking about my rumbling tummy.its so quite and peaceful at this time. love it.

I'm going back out to reorganise plants as I am caretaker for plants for an up and coming plant fair in 8 days time. so even more watering.

I love the early morning so quiet - just me and the birds.

I agree with everyone, it is so nice in the early hours when we have this kind of weather. I too have been getting up at 5 or 6 and sitting having coffee on the patio and pootling about a bit. I was even walking the streets last week at 3 with the dogs because I couldn't sleep and it was light enough.
As for the watering I generally end up doing that somewhere between 10 and midnght
I think maybe gardeners have weird internal timeclocks :~))

Nice to know I'm not the only one pottering around in the early hours..Its my favourite time in the summer.Had a lie in today till 6 am Lol.

I do trhat aswell lol. Dawn is the best time of day :o)

I like dusk too as the bats are out. :o)

Aw this morning I went out to hang washing on line, water plants & wander briefly with the cats ... then I had to go to work ... sooooo wanted to stay home! A perfect day.

been busy in our garden this afternoon. we have taken out kerry bush japonica. we have found that this bush is a nightmare shoots coming up all over the place.Been to buy some new plants to fill the gap.so see how we get on.

I agree early morning and Dusk are lovely times to be out in the garden;0)

Great aren't they.? Did anyone get a really heavy downpour,yesterday evening?
It was bouncing here,and the gutters were overflowing,it was so heavy..I was just about to water the garden too,so it came at the right time..and everything looks so good today :o)))).Glad I had staked,or tied up a lot of plants,as I have been caught out before,and nothing was flattened,so even better....

No rain here in Dorset ... they said it might last night but nothing. Today was hazy but warm ... just right for me!!

My hubby gets up for work at midnight so I `m rarely in bed before 1am, sometimes later, consequently I now miss the sunrise most of the time but agree its a lovely time to be up and about........Here on lincs /rutland border we`ve had scorching few days but a thunder storm and rain at min, I think somebody is getting it bad as its lighting up the sky nicely .. 11-30pm...Oh and Brynner is scared and trying to sit on my lap.LOL....
