Hi
Braved the torrential rain and gusts of wind to visit the allotment
this afternoon. The top half had puddles of water (the rest is on a
slope ) AND my recently planted onions, which have grown quite a bit
were waving at me from the puddles
Now as a new allotmenteer - I'm a tad worried - do they stand a chance
of rotting or will they be OK?
Battenning down the Hatches in Cumbria...

All I'm going to say to that, is that one wet year in Jersey, farmers I knew
who had côtils - steep but cultivable slopes - planted their seed potatoes
three times...... To be honest, there's not a lot you can do either way,
is there?
From wild last night to mild this morning here in North Staffordshire a
beautiful sunny day.

Grey and still windy here but much less wind than before. The photos on
this morning's Western Morning News of the sailing yachts thrown around in
the marina in Plymouth had a certain irony - the boat most prominently
featured was called Maverick!

I spoke too soon - the wind is back with a vengeance, the rain is hurling
down and it's absolutely vile. ;-(
