It's been so dry here, we've been watering thelettuce we planted out last weekend. It's been sunny and very windy - a real north easterly, which is unusual for us, as it's usually westerly. It's really cold in the wind, but lovely if you can get out of it. But sooo dry. Rain forecast for Wednesday though.
Spuds are in, beetroot sown, seedbed for carrots prepared (should have been sown this weekend but chicken plucking took precendence), swede sown. The greenhouse- sown calabrese will be ready to go out next weekend so we'll need to get the fleece ready.
Cleared out some of the freezer this weekend - found three boxes of frozen gooseberries, two of rhubarb (this year's is almost ready to pull), some brambles and some raspberries, so it was rasps on the Bran Flakes this morning and apple and bramble sponge for pudding. In fact, I hear the oven timer now - see you all many calories later!
