A feast of carrots

I think that it is safe to say that the drought has come to an end. Last week, we not only had lots of rain, but it was also extremely windy.

We had wondered whether all the rain would have rendered our clay soil claggy, but as the earth had been parched of moisture, it had absorbed the water and was  good to dig.

We also had a second delivery of horse manure. Piles of it have been stacked at the end of beds, where it can rot down and be incorporated in the spring. We just need to avoid any beds in which we will be planting carrots or parsnips.
