Rain and the Garden

We have had lots of rain this week. We got 37  mm on Sunday night in just over half and hour and then a few more showers during the week and then Saturday night it rained all night and there was another 40 mm in the rain gauge. It is just wonderful for the garden.

My sunflowers are out and I have been picking tomatoes, beans, gold zucchinis and cucumbers.

 The rain came down so quickly. Back of Bill's hilux filled up with rain!

Picking tomatoes, beans and zucchini

The cucumbers are a bit funny shaped but they certainly taste great- so much better than the shop ones- lots more flavour.

The sunflowers are out- I love watching them turn towards the sun- wonder how long before the birds attack them!
