We eventually had a couple of showers on Friday night, and a little more last night. Better than nothing - and everything has really responded well - but we need more, a lot more!
Here is a close-up view of our steel containers. We will be painting them soon, and the roof will be used for collecting water.
Everyone has different ideas on this new site - so anyone that has a good idea is immediately the focus of attention. (Much of the time spent tending the plot seems to be leaning on a fork chatting to the neighbours!) Some people took advantage of an offer made by a local resident to rotavate their plots (for a price) whilst others have relied on the more backbreaking traditional methods. I started on mine before the offer was made, so it's all been done the hard way.
One thing most plots have in common is a seat - but usually not as elaborate as this one!
And very comfy it is too! We've also had rain, good soaking stuff, and more forecast. It's going to take a week of it to make any impression on the ground though.
