Today it was wet until late afternoon so it was mainly a day for other activities but I did have another seed sowing session as well as looking after the cuttings and seedlings that I have already. The first sunflowers are just coming through and I have just sown a new set of sunflowers in an ever optimistic approach

The sunflowers are both in tribute to the people of Ukraine and to remember my father. He never knew that the last sunflowers he sowed flowered spectacularly - the first time he had succeeded in Badachro. I similarly have always failed but am very determined this year.

The rudbeckia I pricked out are doing ok although they need more light. The swan river daisies are going to be the next needing pricking out.

At the end of the day it stopped raining so Ben & I went out to play.
