After a beautiful hour or so of sunshine, the sky is starting to look gloomy again but there is still some blue up there; some potential sunshine. Talking about peaks and troughs of weather, I grabbed the opportunity of feeding my four tomato plants with Tomorite and my hanging baskets and troughs with MiracleGro - amazing how they can get thirsty so fast. So far I have a few green tomatoes and not a ripe one in sight. Still, I am really happy with the way the trough under my front window has filled out. I get a beautiful display from inside too. I've been growing on those pelargoniums for years, each year taking cuttings from the old ones and eventually throwing the old ones away but I got to the point where I got mixed up with the colours and had no idea how the trough was going to turn out. I did know that the two trailing pelargoniums would be cerise though. I have one at each end.
