Diana's garden is very long, at least six times the length of mine, but fortunately for us there is a greenhouse half way down, and boy did we need it on Wednesday. Although well equipped with stout boots and a mac I wasn't really expecting the torrential downpours that frequently started out of nowhere, it was like someone was turning the tap on full every five minutes. Now I don't mind gardening in the rain, but even I considered it prudent not to get drenched, so Diana and I would run for the shelter of the greenhouse when necessary. There surrounded by figs we could discuss the gardening world in moist security! Nevertheless we did manage to complete a few jobs, we de-frocked the beans now that the risk of strong winds has reduced and gave the veg a really good weeding; whilst I was covered in mud it seemed like a good idea to plant the last few cabbages, another twelve, that makes a round 100 brassicas in two weeks! A final tweak to the fruit cage net to let a sparrow out and we were done, rain or no rain it doesn't stop the workers!
