The promised rain arrived right on que and didn't it just! John's rain guage registered 110mm over 24hours a true deluge. Of course nothing is perfect, like all farmers they're glad of the rain, but 'grizzling' for some 'drizzling' instead of it all coming in one great deluge, which compacts the soil and a lot just gets lost in run off.
Despite the rain, I think I may have found 'carrot heaven!' All the produce tastes fantastic, but if forced to choose, when I appear on Radio 4's forthcoming new series of 'Desert Island Veggies' I'd take the carrots! They are the sweetest I think I've ever had, but everything tastes so much better pulled straight from the ground.
