Laugh or cry? I am not sure. The blessed rain that we desperately needed arrived and fell steadily all day...on Bank Holiday Monday. However, the few hardy visitors that came had nothing but praise for how the gardens are looking especially the pleasing neatness of the vegetable garden. The rain has freshened everything up and kept us weeding flat out. The sweet peas have come out really early and some of the climbing roses look beautiful. The swallows are feeding their young with a new glut of insects. The forecast is good for this week and I can have a week off from worrying about dry ground.
