I have never cheered or wooped at the weather report before Monday. After nearly 3 weeks with only so much as a sprinkle of rain (I speak in gardeners terms here) we finally had a full day of rain forecast and it's kept raining. Everything looks so green thanks to the rain and the butt is starting to slowly fill once more. We lost access to the outdoor tap (long story) and I've been left watering everything with an Ikea bag full of milk bottles and watering can, so any rain is welcome.
I wish I had more things to update you about but work has got in the way for gardening. All Al and I have managed is to pull a few weeds and horsetail out as we water. Not exciting stuff nor anything to really make a good Friday photo.
Harvest wise we are almost ready to pick some of the peas and courgettes and in the first fruiting year the blackcurrant bush managed to produce about 40g of fruit. I have no idea what to do with them so they are sitting ready in the freezer. My grandparents love blackcurrant slices so they might go there :)
