Garden Update

It has '"rained" since my last update.

"Rained" because it hasn't truly rained. I mean really opened up and poured. It has just drizzled and sprinkled a bit.

It's too late for this season but I really should (and will) improve the soil in my veggie patch.
It is far too clayee (clayish?)

The problem with clayish soil is that when you water it takes ages for the water to get to the roots,
and once it does, it tends to stay there and drown them.

The lack of rain plus the clayanicity (clayishness?) of my soil has meant my garden isn't doing so well,
which makes me feel disappointed.

The fruits and veggies that I have been growing in containers are doing well, and that's great.

My herb garden continues to be magnificent. The parsley is delicious and the mint is so
mmmmmmmmmmmm mintie.
