Heat stopped play

It is fair to say that Saturday was a case of "Heat stopped play".

I managed to plant out the last of my leeks.  This almost sounds like an achievement, but in reality it was eight plants at most. I now have a couple of rows, and just need to keep them moist over the next few days. Whilst on the subject of gardening, I have also decided that my possibly parsnips are actually definitely not parsnips, and is more likely a carefully tended patch of Fat Hen (Chenopodium album). It looks like further weeding will be needed as soon as it cools down,

In the afternoon I finally got my arse in to gear and drew up some crude plans for a potting bench. I bought the timber and plywood for this project back in March, and have finally found the motivation to finish the job.

The only other thing worthy of mention was that I gave 30% some assistance ,as she had decided that dogs all needed a bath. I am sure they appreciated the cooling effect of a bath, and we certainly appreciated their somewhat less doggy odour!
