It was Fete du travail today here in Fance, a public holiday to celebrate International workers day however it passed us by. It was just another working Friday, one that was long over due to be spent in the sorry for its self veggie patch only it rained, all day rain.
Yesterday I did manage to plant some leeks although didn't mark out straight lines so they may of gone a bit off kilter in places, at least they have been watered in.
So in the patch there are now seeds under water still. Thinking now it may of been a good idea to grow rice instead.
However the broad beans are coming on (although serious weeding is in need)
As are onions, shallots and potatoes slowly poking their green bits up.
It's still very wet under foot, grass is growing as are weeds if only it would dry out for a few days I may get the beans, peas, all the seeds re seeded and stakes put in for the tomato plants. It may be a late veg season this year.
