Early drought
It's been another lovely day but already the dry weather is adding the extra job of watering to all the other work we do at this time of year.
During the last couple of weeks I've put in some Charlotte potatoes, the rest of the broadbeans (Bunyards Exhibition) and sown a couple of rows of parsnips and carrots but the ground is now so dry that I need to go and water every couple of days. It is really, really early in the year for all this watering. An effect of climate change maybe? Or just weather, which as we all know, can be unpredictable.
Whatever the reason, I can't just leave my newly emerged plants or germinating seeds to dry out!
Happy gardening (and watering)
