Wet stuff out of the sky


Wow it’s rained, not an awful lot but quite a downpour for us this year. To put it in perspective just 7.2mm (about 1/4 of an inch) of rain on Thursday but that’s a mighty amount for us this summer. We've only had more rain on one day (12th June 8.0mm) since the 26th February when 11.4mm fell. Today it rained early morning, remaining dull and mild through the day before raining again in the evening.
I harvested a couple of Burpless Tasty Green cucumbers from our home grown plants today. After last weeks very curvy cucumber these two were remarkable straight. This one was the largest, to be honest it was hidden under some leaves or it would have been harvested sooner. It measured around 400mm or 16" whichever measurement means most to you. Not bad for an outdoor cucumber.
