What a difference a week makes. Last week I was working in the garden, t shirt and bare arms, yesterday at the plot, hailstones the size of marbles pelted my sodden back!
I had taken up my hardened off plants of peas, broad beans, lettuce, leeks, beetroot...I started planting out beetroot clumps, leek clumps and was just about to move onto the pea/bean bed, when without warning the great one upstairs began throwing ice at my head. I persevered, thinking it will pass, but no, it just came harder. So a quick sprint in the wet around a sodden plot, ensued, gathering up tools and battered lettuce, peas and beans before the mercy dash to the car. Last year at this time I was planting up toms, peppers and cukes in the greenhouse. I fear that will not be the case this year.
Just off to the plot now to unwrap my tarp covered potato foliage and to check out what I planted yesterday.
As I write this the sun is shining down...
