Big 'ol Moon, Tiny Plants

Too late home from work last night to do much in the garden, it was after dusk. Last night was a partial eclipse of the moon, and the moon is at perigee meaning its closest to us, so quite a stunning sight. Its easy to beleive why our ancient ancestors were so supersticious of such celestial events. Looking through binoculars, the view was often interrupted by the local bats flying through the field of view. Quite gothic.

Went out to take a look at the veg this morning, aquiring dew soaked feet in the early morning grass, surrounded by low fog. The spring cabbage is doing exceptionally well, two lovelly rows of strong little seedlings, all neatly spaced. Little in the way of weeds either, a result of prudent hoeing between the rows. No sign of the carrotts yet, but im sure they are on the way.

The spring onion rows are a different story. No sign of any seedlings yet, but the weeds are regrouping for another assault. I couldnt clear them properly to start with, so will just have to keep a watch over them.

Freddy is getting bigger and loopier, he climbs up the hutch wire whenever i go past to see if i have anything to feed him.
