BAAAAAAAAAH
So. Today, regardless of back or sniffles or hell and high water, I was going to fucking plant out those foodplants I've been raising from seed (and dig out what's going to be ANOTHER garden bed, but Mqhele wasn't home, so I couldn't swipe his mattock. Poop)
I get the bed dug over again, get some dirt filtered (good compost, filtered by hand through a flywire screen) for future seeds I want to raise and the herb garden all sorted and ready. And transplant some of my lovely lovely cucumbers and peas to the garden bed, and the lettuce and shallots to the herb garden.
And it starts raining.
Of course I am non-fussed as it had been pattering on and off since I started. Fuckit. I'm already a bit sniffly, and these seedlings need to be planted before they get totally root bound, so do yer fucking worse. I'm nearly done, just caging over the plants to keep the possums out, so fuck you weather!
It promptly starts hailing. Full on blasting winds wrath of the gods hail and winds. SHEETS OF CRAP, PELTING FROM THE SKY.

*crosses fingers and hopes seedlings survive....*
Tonight I have skeletons to make and another greenhouse to mod for the next lot of seeds. Next up - tomatos, leeks, basil, rocket, lemonbalm and POTATOS. YUM.
