What can I say?

Well well well what can I say? As you can see from the forecast below it going to turn wet wet wet, again. So to make to most out of an ordinary situation today has moved from a weeding to a seed planting day.

I'm thinking beetroot, carrots and another round of brassicas including  broccoli, savoy cabbage and cauliflower.
