A Rainy Day in June

Well we've had some pretty wet weather recently with a couple of thunderstorms aswell so most of the plants have shot up. The cauliflowers and potato shoots especially enjoyed the watering but we moved the strawberries and some of the smaller plants out of the bowls that they were sitting in in case they drowned, quite a contrast to the previous few days where everything was incredibly thirsty due to the hot sun!

Luckily there seems to be no evidence of slugs since the downpours apart from a snail that tried to get in the front door, most traumatic bringing Fran flashbacks of slug invasions when left at home alone in the holidays! 

Some of the tomatoes are ready to go into growbags now so we are experimenting with making drip irrigation systems from old plastic bottles. We are also looking for good homes for some of the tomato plants to go to so let us know if you would like one!
