supermouseI've scrubbed one of the two waterbutts that takes the rain from the greenhouse and, from now on, feeds it back into the greenhouse. If the weather continues this wet, I will never have to make the trek to the garden tap again. The other one waits to be emptied of the various rotting yuk and scrubbed in turn. I also cleaned out the guttering on the garden side of the greenhouse. The wall side will be impossible to clean. I'll assume that plant roots will act as a filter for that water. Yes.
The Watercress I sowed last month is all now out by the pond side. The Watercress I planted out last week is thriving, the plants that stayed in the greenhouse less so. The left-indoor ones will soon catch up. I finally have a Nasturtium plant, under the Blackcurrant bush. Just one, out of about a hundred sown. There's no sign of any of the others in any other place. There are a whole bunch of identical seedlings under the Blackcurrant, suggesting I sowed something there, but I have no idea what.
I have baby Leaf Beets still, and plenty of Sugar Snap Peas and Mange Tout. One Asparagus Pea is still visibly alive. I am learning for next year, certainly. I have a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaby Victoria Rhubarb which won't reach its final place in the garden until November. I also have thriving Spring Onions in a window box, in need rows, graded from 'really getting tall' to 'baby wee seedling'. Poached Egg plants are sprouting in all the places I want Tomatoes to eventually be - this is deliberate. The Dill and Comfrey plants are well. Except for the ones who are dead, but there's no use crying over every mistake. Comfrey is apparently delicious to something in the garden. I have baby Lovage (just one!) and Cosmos ready to go out to the Carrot, Brassica and Allium bed. I have also plenty of baby Arcoat Turnips in a greenhouse and even a few alive outside. My Crystal Lemon Cucumbers look very well so far.
I'm starting to wonder if the unknown tree standing guard over the Rhubarb patch is actually some variety of Apple. It is covered in deep pink buds opening to pale pink blossom and the bees are delirious. I've planted out Tayberries, along the same wall as the Raspberries and Loganberries. They can all pollinate each other.
The weather is wet with occasional sunny intervals during which gardening can be done.
