It was our fortnightly watering day today and the onions were as dry as dry can be, so they had a good soaking. There are a few spaces where for one reason or another some haven't grown but the rest are doing well. One strawberry plant is covered in flowers, the others seem to be resting! The broad beans (1st planting) are flowering well, not sure how long before we see the first bean though, the next lot of beans planted are also looking good.
And then we decided to rinse out the pool, it has been emptied gradually over the past couple of months, but because we haven't had any rain for 16 days now, and it has been quite warm and sunny, the dirt at the bottom of the pool started to dry on and we had to rinse and brush it until it got loose enough to flush out. We have left some water in the bottom to use to clean down the walls another day. There are a couple of areas of loose paint to wire brush and re-do before filling it for the summer - not yet! Probably about May.
