Summers here

At last the rain has stopped and let the sun come out. Everything is looking lush and shooting up, all the transplants have taken well besides having a battle with slugs and caterpillers and soon we shall be collecting the onions-earlier here than what im used to.this years experiments lentils and soya are looking good but the chickpeas are a bit of a letdown after doing well over the last few years.And in the compost the gherkins and marrows look as though theyll be taking over the area soon.





After all the work one needs a good cool off!

RAIN

Well at last it seems that the gods -or whatever you want to call them!-remembered that theres a period that comes between winter and summer called spring and decided to let it rain for the last month and a bit.Came just in time to fill up the waterbutts and pool and also do some transplanting but its put everything back behind schedule, at least now that the grounds all wet and with some sunshine that should change quickly.
It also allows us to carry on working on projects that seemed to be put to one side for the time being but as it was muddy the stones went in easy!
