I knew my massive watering effrt last night would produce a night of heavy rain  and the lawn was fed yesterday - good times.
Looks like lots of rain tonight here as well.
No time in garden today, going to take my daughter to her first football match

Well Carol Klien is very small and smiley and nice and northern, I must say. She was ambling around with the regular punters last night, while Mr Titchmarsh was being filmed in one of the show gardens.
No prizes for guessing who I was most impressed by.

It chucked down as I was on the way there but it held off.
We get tickets through MrsP's employer. This is the second year we've been on the Thursday evening and loved it - previously we'd been on, I think, the Wednesday afternoon which is just rammed beyond imagining. Being limited to only a couple of hours takes the pressure off from feeling the need to 'see everything' too...
We've been to Hampton Court in the past (when we were in our 'allergic to Chelsea' phase. I *prefer* Chelsea - Hampton Court is too spread out and vast. Nice vibe though.

Advice please gang.
I have a number of tomato plants outside which have remianed nice and squat, but quite wide, and are getting ready to bear fruit.
The boy planted a tomato plant at dad's club which I kept in a pot in the kitchen so he could watch it grow.
It's now four feet tall, and about to bear fruit itself.
I don't have room for a four foot tall tomato plant in the kitchen. If I plant it outside now in a pot will I knacker it?

DG - if it hasn't got any fruit on it yet then do it now ! It might sulk for a bit but should be OK. Ideally, you could do with putting it outside during the day for a week or so first to get it used to the idea of being outside and toughen it up a bit.
Plant it on into the biggest pot you can find and stake it well. Water sparingly the first week to encourage root growth then after that water as usual and feed.

Good response from bigleggy- can't argue with that.
