This is rain!

Tuesday was once again cloudy after some early morning sunshine. It was pleasantly mild and for once the wind had abated. The cloud gave some extremely light drizzle at times but not enough to measure on my rain gauge.

Pansy flower with drizzle drops

I took this pansy in the light drizzle which was just enough to leave droplets of water on the petals. This is what we call rain around here at the moment.

The drizzle was short lived and it was a pleasant day to spend some time watering on the plot. Since we started planting up the plot in the middle of March it hasn't had a good rainfall - just a few showers which have quickly dried up in the sun and wind.

Cabbage Kilaton and Cauliflower Clapton

We've been putting off planting out some of our brassicas in the hope that we'd have some rain. It's so much easier to keep the plants watered at home. These cabbages and cauliflowers wont wait much longer and will spoil in the modules if not transplanted into the plot soon. I feel more watering on the plot will be the order of the day.
