Cooler weather

The weather has cooled down - especially at night. Little if any rain - but cooler anyway. The flowers love it when there is consistent weather and it has been for a while. Warm days and cool nights and the flowers are really blooming well at the moment.

They are so healthy - which means a bit of leaf culling otherwise the baby buds just don't get through to sunshine and fresh air - they get trapped in the undergrowth and often wither and die quickly, or at least if they do make their way up through the thick foliage the stems are crooked.

That does mean that Miss A scores them for her outside flower market - she did well last Thursday, but business was not good on Saturday, but then the light rain shower sent the little troup inside and not to return. Thursday seems to be the best day for the roadside market.
