Hoping for the showers to come our way. We planted on the weekend onions, celery and sweet corn.

We are harvesting red grapefruit, pumpkins and lots of chokos. Also tamarillos, guavas, chillis, elderberries and the everyday odds and sods.

I just get stressed trying to find the time to water seedlings or seeds when I'm at work all day and it is a long day. So when the showers come, I can sit back and enjoy watching things grow.

This weekend, I have lots of weeding to finish after the wet wet season and will plant barley and I'm moving some of the sweet white yam. I'm waiting for the sorghum to ripen so winter peas can go into that bed and sooner or later I'm going to have to really wreak havoc on the 1/4 acre pumpkin patch now that its autumn. Might stick in a few broad beans and maybe some fennel seeds.

Waiting to put in parsnips and turnips and hoping to do a new potato garden. I left weeding the stone fruit trees because I figure they are about to go dormant anyway so I've got a bit of time up my sleeve there.

So please, some light regular showers would be appreciated. Thanking you.
