Rain and rain and rain and...

Well the rain that was forecast has certainly arrived - no argument about that! It basically hasn't stopped since Saturday evening and today is Thursday. Heavy persistent rain which should do the ground no end of good but has damaged some of my seedlings. The picture below of the sweetcorn was actually taken on Monday after it had been battered for two days. Some of the shoots have collapsed but I'm hoping they will recover. The rain also brought the cold and its been noticeable how the plants haven't grown at the pace they were. Still on the plus side the plot had its second official vistors who tramped around and were very enthusuatic - even despite the downpour! Maybe next time the weather will be good and the plants much higher and who knows maybe even a harvest to be had?!
