Brass monkey weather.

Am I going to make it into the veggie garden this Sunday? I'm hoping so.

I've missed the last three Sunday's firstly due to misadventure and then to a badish reaction to a flu shot and then Sunday just gone it rained last and the weather forecast for this coming Sunday is for showers with the chance of a storm in the afternoon. But with some luck I might get the morning in at least.

Needless to say the veggie garden is getting a bit ratty looking (I'd like to apoligize in advance to any Rats out there that may take offence to my previous remark, no harm was intended).

However having said that the rain has kept everything growing and looking very happy and despite the weather's best efforts to freeze the balls off a brass monkey I still have some potatoes and tomatoes growing, albeit slowly.
I took this photo of the Savoy cabbage that was attacked mercilessly by cabbage moth grubs which, after a fair bit of attention on my part, has survived to grow into the magnificent specimen you see before you and is looking like it will contribute to a bumper coleslaw in the very near future.

Cheers for now and fingers crossed for Sunday.
