Felt like summer

Generally a milder day today making it feel a little more summery. It threatened some rate in the late afternoon as more cloudy conditions arrived but as usual it remained dry here.

We’ve been here before but the forecast for next week suggests we ought to get some rain.

It wouldn’t be the first time a forecast like this has left us without rain by the time we get to Friday. On the plot I’m going to clear away our old pea haulms so that any rain that does fall will not be wasted on dried up plants and will fall directly on the soil. I hope this bed can then be dug ready for planting winter onions and Sweet Williams for next spring.
