Checking on the babies.

It has been such bad night and day for the weather, with very high winds and torrential rain, that it has not been possible to spend time on the allotment today. It's now 4.00pm and getting dark.

I was worried that the wind would have blown the plastic sheeting around, so we went for a quick walk round to check all was OK. It was, and the broad beans have grown a bit more. Compared with a few other plots, they seem small, but we were quite late getting them in. I'm sure they'll be OK.
