Warm (in the 80's) and sunny today. Rain is predicted for this evening, so I went out and cut back most of the tomatoes for the fall crop. The kitten "helped" me, so it took longer than expected.
Alp, the flood waters are slowly draining in coastal Texas, leaving behind a soup of sewage, fuel, and other nasty stuff. Those who can get to their homes and start clean-up are advised to wear masks. The urgent need now is not food, but cleaning supplies.

Thank you so much for the update, @marlingardener ! That's the horrible thing when there is flood. Sewage floating around in amongst furniture .. Not nice .. and Irma is even more vicious. Hope it doesn't hit Texas ..

@alp morning and to all. Cloudy and mild. Supposed to be dry today. Might do the border or some weeding. Got a lot of grass to get out of another border.

Dull, damp and danky .. In an hour's time, I will go out to finish the lawn. Not looking forward to it. But at least, it's not cold or raining.

My son used to have a cough and a cold every year he went to uni. The concerts were really always the causes of cough and colds.. Hopefully, this year, it won't be so bad as there will be no more uni.

Good morning to @Logan et al

Very mild and pleasant 14 to19c overcast, but without the chill factor.

Mostly dry day, apart from a bit of rain lunch time. 19C ideal for gardening. I wish I had finished that border, but no. Son used the lawnmower to shred all the bits and bobs and he actually quite enjoyed it. Tomorrow is supposed to rain all day. Give our legs a bit of a rest and when the weather is good, will complete that border.
