Gardener’s Diary – Rain

It was bad enough yesterday going to Cambridge and back, but the weather is even worse today: driving rain and wind, and there are puddles everywhere.
At such times, it’s well to remember that gorgeousness like this is not that far away.


I fed the front garden. It being just too nasty to hook up a hose, I used dry Miracle-Gro and filled the new 2-gallon watering can from the rain barrel, which is not in place but collected enough water nonetheless.
Took the lid off the compost bin so it’ll get a good soaking.
Still no signs of life in the grasses. Hope I didn’t plant annuals!
Moss growing in the cold frame. Bad?
