We all know that without water our crops will die. However, I would much prefer that when rain comes it is accompanied by at least a few hours of sunshine each day. The effect that rain without sunshine has is striking: last week I cut 12g of spring onions. This week - 5g.
In other news, the jalapeno has come out of its stupor and is now producing flowers like there's no tomorrow. I think it's liking the sub-30 degree top temperatures that we've been having.
That's it for this post - expect about two per week during school terms and a bit more during holidays.

Oh I know so well what you're talking about ... we've been having torrential downpours followed by steamy hot overcast days ... lots of humidity but little sunshine! The garden suffers terribly ... I find this is the harshest time of the gardening year ... even though we get no rain for the rest of the year ... this rain that lasts around a month or two is hard on the plants.
