More rain… in fact, it’s been raining all week, with the forecast calling for rain tomorrow with sunny breaks. On Sunday we apparently will be getting sunshine – perfect! Will do a few more plantings tomorrow: six fennel plants to go in as well as some cosmos (white) and magenta dahlias.
Hay still not cut: rain has depressed some of the stands of timothy/alfalfa mix. Some of the grasses are more than a metre high – perfect for youngsters to play hide and seek.
I offered my mare Crescent some timothy grass yesterday and she instantly gobbled up the flower/seedheads, which appear to be a sought-after treat in horsedom.
Garlic scapes are almost two weeks early this year. We noted that Rob Wallbridge had harvested his – ours are still producing but we’ll need to be quick.
Chanterelle mushrooms are already out along our Wildflower Trail – so tonight we’ll have scapes and chanterelles as sides for our fish barbeque – friends are bringing strawberries picked nearby, so at least some of our meal will be way less than 100-mile diet.
