Rain rain rain rain rain!

We moved here to live in the sun but all it has done since the 16 May is bloody rain!!!!!

If we don't get sun soon we will suffer from what you had in England last year and our crops will die:(
The tomatoes are looking very sorry for themselves, potatoes are starting to get fed up and peppers are struggling too. I think I may have to build and ark in preparation for our escape!

Here are another few photos. We have finished the shed! Everybody who passes stops to take a look and compliment us. Mario and me did a grand job!




The onions are really coming on now and also the potatoes. I found my first spud today!
I shall cook it carefully and eat with a little butter. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

First sight of our new babies

Today it was a wonderful sight! Because of the last few days rain our first potatoe plants have shown their heads. Loveley:) What sad people we must be to get so excited about a few spuds!! Pictures to follow

What we have done so far in May




Some more pictures - we have our neighbours in the next field, my spuds planted in straight lines and a general view of it all.



Poly tunnels


We decided to put the tomatoes and peppers under tunnels to protect them from the cold as it still gets a bit chilly here at night.
