Sunshine After The Rain

Yesterdays torrential rain has changed to sunshine and showers today. The plot is drying out so there was not too much to do today except a bit of tidying up, sowing some seeds; leeks, spring onions, french marigolds and didiscus 'Madonna'.

Raspberries

My new raspberry canes came on Thursday and after giving them a good soak, I planted them today in the new raised beds in the 'fruit' area at the rear of my plot.
I ordered 6 canes each of two varieties, summer fruiting 'Glen Ample' and autumn fruiting 'Joan J'
