End of the summer
It has rained since Monday and looks set to continue throughout the whole of next week. After the first day, the ground was sodden and the mizo full. Overnight the rain has been particularly heavy. While the water soon drains away, the ground could do with a thorough drying out. The weather seems to go from one extreme to the other; it wouldn’t be so bad if it were every other day. As a result, the lingering green tomatoes are splitting, weeds are overrunning, and the deshima potatoes have rotted in the ground. The flipside is that the sweet potatoes and asparagus are benefiting.
