Well after some torrential rain in the night we now have wind gusting
to well over 50 mph and forecast to get stronger.
Got 3 chrysanthemum beds prepared early in the week though it was
rather like stirring cold rice pudding, but with ground cover fabric
down I don't need to get onto the soil, though I can see me planting
from duck boards, though they do say next week will be better.

Same sort of day here, David. The wind has gone now, thank heaven, as
has the rain though that was intermittent. The forecast for the w/e is
pretty good, I think.



Well the wind has eased up a bit here, but we had 15 hours with it
gusting to 50 mph or over with 2 hours of it gusting over 60 mph.
The last 48 hours have given us over 1.5 inches of rain with more to
come overt the next few days, and the forecast is for wind till at least
mid week.
In this sort of weather it's easy to forget that things inside still
want watering.
