Rain

The

rain

arrived

at

last,

it

having

been

incredibly

dry,

no

rain

for

almost two weeks. It fell heavily for a good while today and, hopefully, some more will fall tonight. The ground where we planted the first lot of beans, has been too hard to work but now it should be fine and I will plant cive there tomorrow. Miss Teeta gave us a few plants. I am glad that I weeded the carrots yesterday and T has made some new beds below the bottom French Cachou for? He has planted some squash with sticks to the right of the tree. I will sow more carrots a the weekend in the new beds on the other side of the ravine, when the moon is more favourable.

A good day's work

T and I
had a
really
good
day.
T
prepared
the
beds
and
I
planted.




100
lettuce,
65
cabbage,
parsley,
bell peppers
and T planted
the
sweet potato
slips.



With plenty of juice, ice and cheese sandwiches, I managed to spend the whole day without having to go for 'a little lie down'.

Back to basics

yesterday was spent uprooting, weeding, moling and forking, in between heavy showers

The tomato plants were replaced with a large leaf basil, the peppers were weeded and moled ready for treatment,

T had already trimmed the mango tree









and the French Cachou?!!!!???????!!!

Can't say I blame him
