was dry and sunny so I went to the plot after lunch for an hour or two and did some plotting. I cut back all the dead flower heads and stems on the sedums to ground level, then added them to the compost heap. I also cut back the stems on three of the the asters/Michaelmas Daisies, being what I left when I pruned them in the autumn. I tidied up, then hoed round and will add some compost once I’ve dug it out.
Earlier during the day I found that online social media friend, and fellow allotmenteer, Hesperalis had posted a comment and the picture below on my Mastodon timeline. She had taken it in a municipal park in Chile, where she and her husband are on a once in a lifetime holiday all this month. Her comment reads…While you’re waiting for your own to grow and flower here’s some of your favourites blooming now in Patagonia.
Yesterday the weather was dull again and cold with the feels like temperature just reaching 0 C / 32 F. Looking ahead to the weekend and into next week it looks like the temperature will reach a balmy 13 C / 55 F, but remaining mostly dull and, hopefully, not much rain.
Have a good weekend, and take care!

What a pretty picture of the calendula blooming in Chile. Glad to hear you have had a good day for plotting.

You used your weather break time fully. I take it your soil wasn’t too soggy underfoot.
Yesterday’s temperatures were really sharp. There are times when it’s best to dress like a Yeti!
Take care and have a good weekend.
