Well, the rain is coming down... and down... and down. I'm pretty sure this is the wettest spring in my memory. I took the risk a couple of weeks ago and sowed some early seed: carrots, radishes, peas, salsify, and beetroot. The peas and radishes are doing well, but I suspect the rest have drowned.
I always figure it's worth the risk though - seed is cheap, so you might as well take a chance of getting some early goodies. And if the weather turns out, well, like this, you can always just re-sow when the soil dries out again.
In the meantime I'm back to the burrow to curl up with a good book!
