Yesterday late afternoon was the first time in days since we’ve been down to the allotment, and only managed to fit in a bit of speed-planting of cauliflower seedlings between showers. We’re having a lot of rain, which means that our water-butts are full and the garden and allotment are well watered.

The hard rain has battered our little lettuce seedlings that we planted a few days ago, I hope that they’ll recover, and I’m happy to report that the peas have finally come up, under a polytunnel-cloche where the birds couldn’t get to the seeds.

We could do with a few day’s sunshine this week, fingers crossed!
