Help - they say it's going to rain now until November! Wish I was a duck. Sometimes we gardeners look like ducks and feel like them, spending lots of time in the rain, dressed in waterproof clothing.

But I am not so keen of the next few months being really wet. I have only just put on shorts to reveal my little white legs and now they will have to go into hiding again - perhaps that's a good thing though!

August in the garden means a good harvest of fruit and vegetables and this year has been a little different. Some things have done well with the heat-yes we did have some, and others have suffered from the lack of rain. Rasberries were a bit shrivelled and the outdoor tomatoes are still green! Well that is in my garden anyway! They look good in shops though!

So it seems the uggs are coming out again and my hair will be one big ball of frizz again- yes, I wish I was a duck!
