that the plot looked like this on Thursday morning following heavy rain overnight on top of last weekend’s very wet weather.
I’ve never seen it as bad as this before, and with more rain this weekend there’s little prospect of it drying out unless it stays dry for a couple of weeks. Needless to say that I couldn’t do any plotting last week and it looks like I won’t be doing any next week either.
Looking round it’s good to see the rhubarb starting to show, and there are more daffodils Tete-a-tete appearing.
One of the annual flowers I’m growing this year is nasturtium Princess of India, a dwarf form of the popular Empress of India. The flowers are deep red and foliage blueish-green.
Have a good week!

Oh dear — look at that standing water. It’s like that here in Kentucky too. We’ve had flood watches. Come September, there will be a drought!

Liz it’s just very soggy this morning. Flood watches sound serious. It’ll be the same here I expect. xx

Molly I’m not surprised it seems to be the same everywhere, it sure is. xx

There’s so much water around after the storms. As you say, it’ll take some time for everywhere to dry out, and that’s if there’s no more rain, no guarantee of that.

Jo we need a couple of weeks of dry weather which seems unlikely at present. xx

It’s absolutely saturated out there at the moment isn’t it. The stream is as high as I’ve ever seen it and the pond is topped right up. Let’s hope things don’t start rotting. CJ xx

CJ it certainly is. I’m not surprised. That’s always the worry when it’s like this. xx

My garden is waterlogged too. I’m also shocked to see all sort of plants and bulbs growing all at once. I have fuchsia and geraniums that didn’t even bother to die back over the winter months.

Paula I’m not surprised, on both counts. Everything is certainly early as it’s been relatively mild and few frosts. xx

Hallo Flighty, Have just found your interesting site here. Are ‘you’ drying out now? Do you have Hellebores?

Gertie hello and welcome. Good for you, I hope you enjoy it. There’s no standing water now but the plot is still very soggy. Sadly no, I really don’t have the space for them. Take care. xx
