Triffids!
The rain has certainly been persistent the last couple of weeks and still we are not allowed to use a hosepipe! I had to make a trip to the allotment as the kitchen waste was beginning to smell, especially as I collect everyone's waste. Some of the allotment was underwater to the extent that I am investigating hydro agriculture! The raised beds were okay and what was in them was thriving. However so were the triffids! Let's hope for a drier week so that I can get up there with the strimmer and some cardboard and carpet.

Love your list of goals.
ReplyDeleteLots to achieve. I too want to have tea at the Ritz!
I hope the rain stops and you can attack the allotment soon.

OK, here's another word I don't know. I looked it up and it seems to mean a very bad mythical plant. Is that a British term for big, bad weeds? My garden is just starting even though I planted it in March. Too much cool, wet weather. - Margy
ReplyDeleteI'm gladd someone is getting the rain. We haven't gotten much in the past 6 weeks and our garden is sure showing the lack.

Like my friend Margy in BC, I had to look up triffid. What a wonderful word for invasive weeds! I think I'll try to remember it.
ReplyDeleteWe've been getting some rain lately, although today is a beautiful day, and our lawn is looking better than it ever has.

Sft - I have always wanted to have tea at the Ritz and my son actually bought us a voucher for Xmas which we are going to use in the summer. So that's one dream coming true xxx
ReplyDeleteMargy and Kay - read The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham - fantastic book about killer weeds! Xxx
Diana's - I would gladly send you some rain. It hasn't stopped for weeks xxx
