I hope they’re guessing it right and that cool weather and rain is on the way :-)

No walk in this hot weather so only photos from my garden today.

32C (89,6F) again and I really don’t like it. They’re guessing however that we’ll get lots of rain tonight and most likely also thunder. The temperature will also fall down to more nice 20C (68F) and stay like that for at least ten more days (and more rain will fall). I’m already longing for the rain to arrive πŸ™‚

I went to the physiotherapist for the last time today because even though my shoulder most likely never will go back to good it’s still so much better that if I just continue with the training I’ve learned it most likely won’t be worse either. I stopped at a garden center on my way back to work. I didn’t look for any plants but I did take a look anyway. Turns out that they now sell peach trees that gives those “Gold Peaches”. They also sold an almost totally white peach, called icy something. Both trees were however so small that I most likely would cut them down with my lawn mower but the price wasn’t small at all πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

If the Hardy Kiwi likes where it grows it grows like crazy.

What I was looking for was some kind of water tight semi big pot where I could put all my carnivorous plants I bought some time ago. It is time they move from the shadier north side of my cottage to a more sunny spot. I didn’t know if I wanted one big pot or perhaps two semi big ones but they were so expensive that I bought one bigger. Turns out that it didn’t really hold water πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ It is made out of a thin layer of metal but folded together instead of welded.

I’ve sealed it with textile glue, more or less just liquid rubber to be honest. When it has dried I’ll fill the pot with peat and water. It’ll take some time for the peat to suck up enough water before I can plant anything in it though. But if I leave it outside in the rain tonight it might be good enough tomorrow. I can already now however say that my little carnivorous plants don’t starve πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ The Venus fly traps I have are almost always closed πŸ™‚ I don’t think they can over feed that way, I sure hope that anyway because I really need both plants and animals to eat as many flies as they can, we really don’t have too few flies in this area πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

It is time for a cup of tea, yes warm tea πŸ™‚ I bought lots of things to make really nice sandwiches, like tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce and much more but it is just too hot to eat anything so tea it’ll be but I will also drink lots of cold milk πŸ™‚ Did You know that a survey shows that the best one can drink to re hydrate the body on a hot day is to drink milk? Because even the fat in the milk contains water so it actually works even better than pure water! πŸ™‚ I drink lots of milk πŸ™‚

Have a great day!

I’ve tried to identify the huge rose that now is so high and heavy that it sort of collapses because of its own weight and because it can’t lean or grow towards anything else. It’s 4 meters high (much the same in yards) and the big difference (except its size) compared to the dog rose is that it has at least seven buds on the same twig. The dog roses I have only have five as most.
