The rain and winds have stopped. So we went for a bit of a wander around the place
You can see how much rain we had
This dam was bone dry!
It filled up over the last week

The sugar beets have grown. I’ll start harvesting and adding them to my stews and roast them

More beets in the foreground. The jonquils are happily flowering away.

No sign of the potatoes as yet. I’m sure they’ll pop up soon

The frost has Damaged this poor plant. I’ll wait until all frost has gone and cut it back. It should regrow.

My rosemary is really doing well. I had to cut it back so I could get in and out of the gate

It was nice to just walk around. I ignored all the weeds. I’ll get to them once the weather improves

The chickens have been let out of lockdown to clean up the small orchard.
They will spend the day here and go back in their run
It’s wet so we will get some more sawdust and put it down for them to have a nice clean and dry area to play in.
This will have to done during the week. The sawdust people are closed Sundays
Hope you’re all keeping warm or cool depending on where in the wacky world you live.
Crazy weather all over
You've had a tremendous amount of rain. Your garden seems to have loved it. Isn't it odd , my rosemary is thriving too and we are staying n a heatwave. It's a very hardy plant.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I've noticed is the lack of bees. There are a few but nowhere near the number of happy buzzing bees we used to have.
I love to see the bees around. I get them on my herbs and lavender and like to think of the great flavored honey I'm helping with.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is coming along so nicely!
