Weather wise little different for Saturday. Another blustery day with occasional showers and not particularly pleasant. Perhaps June will bring some decent weather? It's "rained" at some time for 15 of the 29 days of May so far yet the garden and plot are dry.

| Rainfall May |
We've had around half the anticipated rainfall for the month but it's come in such small amounts that it's not done more than wet the soil surface at the most. The months temperatures will turn out to be about average, we had warmer days in April than May and colder nights in May than April.
Our lawn still looks green despite the lack of rain - I refuse to water the lawn - but a few bare patches were in need of re-seeding. I did a test patch a few weeks ago which has grown well. I confess to having kept this small area moist to germinate the seed.

With the success of the previous patch I decided on a bit more renovation work.

Not the most exciting gardening work but a good lawn does help to set off the border.
We have our most exotic crop to date growing in the greenhouse. Our Snake Beans (sent to us by Diana from Kebun Malay Kadazan Girls) are growing well and were transplanted into more spacious containers. We've still to decide where they will spend summer, in the greenhouse or outside and also what there final container will be.
