All that rain...

...has been great for my plants! I was pleasantly surprised. I really did wonder how the garden would hack it. We had torrential downpours for days. The soil has drained off quite nicely though and I noticed that a lot of the older seedlings have really grown quite a lot (or maybe it's just coz I never really looked at them closely over the past week instead of twice a day as I had been!). None got knocked over with the rain, although I am wondering if any of my seeds will germinate that I happened to sow the day the rain started. The ground has turned quite hard on those beds and compacted down, so not sure how the seedlings will even be able to pop through the surface! I will wait a few weeks before deciding what to do with them.
