Sure enough, the pond had sunk to just below the big patch by this morning. So next weekend I’m going to have to dismantle the beach and see if I can patch it underneath as well. Meanwhile, all the buckets are out to catch any drop of rain that comes in the week. We may be due a little on Tuesday.

The plot is bone dry and waiting to spring into action. It just needs water to get going.

At home I’ve pinch out the terribly leggy sweet peas. Next weekend I’ll put seeds straight in the ground too.
