Not that there has been much sunlight the last two days. Yesterday morning was particularly wet with a persistent heavy shower up until mid afternoon. Unfortunately I had to walk into town and back for a hairdresser appointment (P had driven into Peel so I couldn't cadge a lift). I was soaked through by the time I got home. My raincoat was hung up in the boiler room to drip dry, along with my gloves boots and bag.
Today is damp and mizzly with more heavy rain due later.
Good for the garden, as my father in law would have said.
All that free Nitrogen from the rain.
ReplyDeleteAll good stuff for the plants hopefully, provided they don't drown!
DeleteWell done with the seedlings.
ReplyDeleteShame about the soggy visit to the hairdresser.
It is even soggier now this afternoon. I am not going out anywhere for the time being.
DeleteLooks like you have found the best spot in your home to grow your seedlings. Look at them go! Well done, JayCee!
ReplyDeleteStay warm and dry!
Thanks Ellen. Today is certainly a day for staying home and reading or blogging.
DeleteHope you were able to keep your hair dry.. well done on your seedlings, looking very strong.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the hood of my raincoat totally ruined my freshly blowdried hair. It is still sticking out all over the place.
DeleteSo much for dressed hair. You need to lick your paw and smooth it down JayCee. I find it very effective. xxx Mr T
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr T. I may try that.
DeleteIt was so kind of Lord Perry to drive to Peel on the day you had made a hair appointment. We men can be very sensitive when serving our spouses.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have noticed that.
DeleteThose seedlings look very healthy - they've obviously had a good start in life!
ReplyDeleteThe herbs will be staying indoors in the warm but those courgettes will have to fend for themselves out in the garden. But not just yet.
DeleteThat's a nice growing space..I am envious!
ReplyDeleteOne good thing about this old house is deep windowsills!
DeleteWhile I am only responsible for a couple of outside pots, I've have a theory that plants shouldn't be turned as they then expend energy in turning towards the light rather than putting the energy into growth and flowers. I don't know if this is correct but it makes sense to me. Inside though, the desire to face the light source would be stronger and so you could end up with a very wonky plant if not turned.
ReplyDeleteYes, we have an indoor Oxalis on a windowsill and each day all the flowers are turned towards the window. I have to turn the pot every morning so that it grows evenly. It doesn't seem to mind the exercise.
DeleteI am an hour and half south west of Melbourne Australia, same weather! Grey is not my favourite colour, wintry weather seems to be settling in early this year.
ReplyDeleteI remember my first visit to Melbourne. It was colder than here!
DeleteYou obviously have green fingers and will be eating the fruits of your labour before too long.
ReplyDeleteCourgettes and parsley with everything!
