Last night was the first cloudy one for ages, so I missed the super moon. My weather app showed rain all day but all we got was a shower at lunchtime and that was the first rain of the whole month. The soil is like dust. There are plants waiting to go out and weeds to come up but nothing can be done until the soil has some moisture in it. I’ve dead headed all the daffodils, which makes the garden look bare. Thank goodness for primroses, which are everywhere.
This afternoon I went to the garden centre for some necessities. The fields on the way were glaring with rape; everyone seems to have planted it this year. The oaks were fuzzing up but I didn’t see any ash, so can’t tell if it’s a soak or a splash. At the moment, either would be welcome. It was very cold up there and my legs have frozen up. Ugh.
