While the monsoon season is here, maybe time to plant some rice? ;-)


For the amount of standing water around, we could start planting.

David, did you get the heavy hail storms last week? Left things pretty
ragged here I'm afraid; and probably has done for this years peach crop
and early cherries.

Yes, we got the hail unfortunately. Don't know if the fruit trees / crop
have been affected though. So far this month we've had 98mm of rain. It
has rained almost every day. Weeds are coming up in the veg garden but
it is impossible to go on to hoe them without sinking in mud.

The runner beans are up now but all the leaves are looking pale and
yellow and the potatoes also look similarly washed out. I guess nothing
likes this much rain.
