Rain at long last


The farmers have been calling out for rain, and at last during the weekend it arrived, not as much here as further south, but very thankful for what we got.
We are very lucky in our garden as when we first started developing it, G installed and sprinkler system all around the section. Has a lot of turn on/off valves so you can do selected areas at a time, but the disadvantages are that you need a license to run it! However I am getting used to it and learning which ones go where.
Because of the rain and the cold wind that has followed, not much has been done in the last few days.
My worm farms need attention as they are getting too full, so hope to get that done today.
I have inserted a photo of Rose Madame Isaac Perri ere, not much during the first flowering, but beautiful during the second one, as long as it doesn't get the dreaded black spot. The most wonderful perfume though!
