The lettuces went into a couple of pots and everything else into the garden beds that had been prepared. We timed it well as, just as the last plant went in we had quite a nice shower. No more rain forecast until "light rain" on Sunday through to the following Friday. We shall see. Earlier in the week we were told that at the end of this week the Council was going to decide whether to increase our water restrictions because of the drought. Have heard nothing more. Hopefully, there will be enough rain in the forecast to keep the current status. Areas further north still have high restrictions.
The number of confirmed and probable cases of Covid 19 have dropped again - a total of 19 for the country today. I do hope this means that we have got it early enough. New Zealanders are still allowed back into the country and stricter quarantine is coming into effect from today which is good.
I had a cyclamen on the dining table but it was getting past its best so went out in the garden this morning to pick some flowers. Our garden is well past its best at the moment but I was pleased with what I picked. When I got inside Doug asked where I had got the flowers as he didn't think there were any to pick.
And still the drought continues..let's hope it doesn't overdo it when the rain returns
ReplyDeleteIt will take a lot of rain to get us out of the drought but not all at once.
DeleteStay vigilant. COVID-19 may not be done with you yet.
ReplyDeleteThe lockdown is staying for at least the next fortnight and everyone entering the country will go into isolation. Only New Zealanders allowed in.
DeleteThat is good news that Covid cases are dropping for you but as David said, stay vigilant. This isn’t over until a vaccine is found and available to everyone.
ReplyDeleteThere has just been a second death and the numbers are up slightly today.
DeleteLovely colourful arrangement, must brighten your days
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at what I managed to find - quite a colourful bunch.
DeleteWhat pretty flowers to find in your garden. And what good timing with planting your seedlings! Take care, Mxx
ReplyDeleteYes, the shower didn't last long and today is fine and the same forecast tomorrow so back to watering. Still the seedlings look good.
DeleteI miss gardening, here we have a garden outside the kitchen window that has 2 massive rosemary plants growing in it, I love herbs so when lockdown is over and I'm working again I'd like to buy a few other plants like thyme, basil, mint etc.
ReplyDeleteI have just pulled up my two basil plants and made some pesto which is now in the freezer. Also have rosemary, thyme, mint and parsley.
DeleteIt's been beautiful weather here for the past few weeks, but we're now expecting rain on Easter Sunday. My plants are all desperate for water.
