morning ladies 
  Wow, we had some rain last evening and night.  It was all gratefully received by the lawn and garden.
We (using the Royal 'we' here lol) do the same as you oh_hunnihunni to the tomatoes.  The cherry tomatoes that grow realllly tall grow over a  arch type frame MrK built and dangle down like grapes on a vine.  They ripen quicker this way as the sun hits them all day.  Courgette and apple cucumber are finally planted.  A bit late but we'll still get fruit from them.  We're also eating our beans
Yesterday I dug over the bit of new garden, it was full of stones and metal they use for roads.  I had forgotten how bad this end of the garden used to be for that.  Over the years as I've weeded I've picked them out of the garden.  I suspect this part of the garden used to be a metal driveway before it was concreted by the original owners.  The next owner broke the concrete up to change the entrance and left us with the concrete. 
I also cut out the feijoa tree the previous owner planted.  I think you were right, Jan, it wasn't the self pollinating one.  So I have a lovely space towards the back of the garden and I'm going to move a very tall rose there.  When I planted the rose, I had no idea what it was as it was just a half dead stick from the neighbour's garden.  This new piece of garden means a good shuffle round of plants  Buff Beauty, the rose I moved a couple of weeks ago is thriving in her new spot.  
Housework for me today then back to the sewing machine.  I didn't get to sew as much as I wanted yesterday so I'll have another go today.  I have more patterns to post too and I have a pile of things for the op shop when it opens again.
Happy crafting
