Have a terrible headache, sheep are shunning sopping rain, but the kitchen garden is enamoured with vibrancy.
The hillside is drenched, the contrast between green and brown has increased to draw the pale whiteness of roses reaching from the farmhouse's north-western corner. The fungicide I sprayed appears to have rid the rose bush of rust. Relieved that we had found and eradicated the garish orange coloured mould early enough to allow the bush to bloom this summer; it's such a compliment to the ascetic of the farmhouse.
Our potatoes!
In the afternoon we purchased four bags of Ewe nuts, and visited both grass keep; one flock was visibly stressed with flies; we'll be straying and worming them soon. Yesterday, Charlie completed the perimeter fence by attaching a gate; he used a piece of paper to position and tack the wire on with staples.
Our dwarf beans are growing significantly, I am optimistic that these will be delicious and nutritious. In the evening I encouraged Charlie to bring the flock into the poly tunnel, the rain has been a relentless downpour today.
