Another deluge


Broccoli row

With 125 mm of rain so far this week, and at least 25 mm more on the way by the end of the weekend, we're pretty close to drowning again. The broccoli seedlings finally went in on Tuesday, the only decent day here in the last eight. They actually seem to like this cool, wet weather. The tomatoes, on the other hand, would prefer something much hotter and sunnier.

Meanwhile, the sump came on yesterday afternoon. This indicates we are nearing soil saturation. Yikes. I don't know if we'll be able to keep the next storm off of the basement floor.
