RAIN
Today, as forecast, we have rain, steady not heavy which is ideal for the new plants. This is the view through the rain-wet window.

The vegetables from the previous seedling order are doing well. They are hard to see in this photo but there are a few sugar snap peas forming.

Lots more rain showers in the forecast. The flower seedlings in the front garden are also looking happy.

Great when the weather complies with a gardener's wishes, it doesn't happen very often. Which reminds me, I've got some flowers that need watering.
ReplyDeleteYes, it worked in perfectly. A lot of work planting all of them but well worth it.
DeleteGlad that you are finally getting the rain you need. Hope it doesn't come with a side order of earthquake!
ReplyDeleteLuckily, we are not in an earthquake area although I just checked with Mr Google and there was one on the coast 9 years ago over 400 kms deep.
DeleteHave you grown 'Cavolo Nero', Italian black cabbage, it would make a good addition to your range of vegs. I now grow more of it than any other greens.
ReplyDeleteNo, I have not grown it although was just thinking about it. I have bought it at the market. Our main seedling order was a set bundle of plants but I should have got some with this last order. When we finally start to go shopping again I must look for some seeds. How do you cook it?
DeleteI just steam it in a tiny amount of salted water. You can either remove the stems, or not, as the mood takes you.
DeleteYour garden is looking good, it is flourishing - must be all the love it has been receiving :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it always gets lots of TLC.
