Going, Going, Gone

After the tomato set back it was good to see that other plants were getting on fine, another something ready, this time spring onions, this is a white lisbon, the first ever plant i've grown and eaten!!



The cucunbers had survived the mosaic virus, fortunately we'd not nipped anything off them at that point, so we decided to move them outside.


The weather has been amazing this summer, i've never paid so much attention to the weather forecasts, i look out for rain every day. Every day there isn't rain i'm aware of it, i'm aware of how dusty the land is and i'm also aware of the fact that our water butts are insuficient in this kind of weather...


With both water butts dried out we had to take the butts down to the house on a wheelbarrow and with the help of a mate fill it as full as we could and take it back. That's been the routine, about twice a week... it's not enough really, i think the yeilds will suffer, but things are still growing and the weeds are struggling, so it's not all bad!
