Rain, more rain and soggy soil!

Soggy Soil

I thought what an earth shall I put for the title and came with what describes perfectly the last few days. "SOGGY-SOIL". The last few days has been pelting it down with rain. I know the land and the plants, all living things need the rain so I cannot complain too much. Moments when the rain clouds wanted a breather, I dashed out and planted some plants, looking round at what needed doing and nurturing. I have never had a garden before so this is all new and exciting to me. Slowly bit by bit the plants are growing and the seeds in little seed-trays germinating. Ive been pondering round with the idea can Sunflower seeds be planted in buckets with holes in? as the back garden is really a patio garden with not much soil to plant things in but plenty of room for tubs and containers. I did phone a garden centre but with my deafnessGRRR

could not hear what the lady was saying, so I shall have a look round some websites.

I have been doing a bit of needlepoing work which I am really pleased with. I drew freehand the leaf shapes and patterns on the canvas and used all odd bits of wool in mixtures of purples and yellows. When this needlepoint design has grown a bit moreI will take a photo and show everyone. Hope everyone is having fun still and not working too hard.
