Rain at last

Today it rained. It started overnight and rained on and off for most of the day. The water butt at home is now nearly full - it was down to a third full the day before.

I was up the allotment on Saturday - but there was very little I could do as the ground is still rock hard. I finished the shed painting and trimmed the grass on the edges of the path. Weeding is impossible as the ground is still rock hard.

Amazingly enough the runner beans are doing well even though I planted them out a bit early.


I planted some more runner bean seeds out this weekend and they are on the window cill in the lounge hopefully germinating.

Phil, my allotment neighbour picked his first broad beans this week.
