Rain

We have had to go up to the plot (down?) most days this week to water. One evening was also spent weeding, but it didn't scratch the surface of the problem.

I had planned to spend a long day on Saturday working on the plot prior to a few days away, but it rained solidly all morning. It was 3pm when I finally got there, and stayed to 7pm.

I was pleased that the rain was penetrating well into the soil, but it does drain very freely. I was also pleased I keep a waterproof in the shed.

The pottager was weeded and tidied up. Paths around it were cleared and covered with grass cuttings.

In bed 2, I planted out the sprouts and chard.

There was more rain over-night.
