It started raining . . .

It started raining so that meant the end to digging for the day. Looking at it this evening it looks like it might be to wet to dig tomorrow as well. In fact, the weather report for the next few days is not good.

(That was taken in daylight not at night!)

Mind you I am under no pressure as I have given myself the whole of this summer to get it all ready for planting next Spring so there is plenty of time yet. Might be nice to get some salad stuff in if possible. Will have to wait and see.

So what do you do in the garden when it's wet? Well you can always head for the DIY stores like me to look at what is available for fencing and how much it is all going to cost.

Why do I need fencing for a plot in my own garden? You might ask. Garden pests that's what! Three of them who love to trample over everything and dig up anything that looks interesting.

I will have to get everything measured, work out how many posts I need and then get started. Concreting the posts in their holes is the biggest nuisance as I don't want to be mixing concrete. There are bags of ready mix available which you just add water to when it is in the hole. The cost is fine for doing one post but when you need six or seven posts . . . Will just have to see as I go along.

Having only a small car I might have to wait until I can persuade my wife to use her car to transport everything. Shame to make a mess of mine anyway. So perhpas I will keep out of the garden tomorrow.
