Lots of rain but still not enough.

They day started nice enough and since I really want the rain I shouldn’t complain about all the rain that fell for the rest of the day 🙂 However cleaning a pool when it rains is a bit more tricky than one might think, the surface becomes impossible to see through so one really doesn’t know if the pool is clean or not 🙂 🙂 Only two more days before the summer vacation starts for the kids, after that the pool will be open for the public.

I’ve never seen such a red beetle before.

The weather has stopped us from doing anything to be honest, the showers were so hard that it was difficult to see the road when I was out driving, it did feel like thunder showers but from what I could see or hear I don’t think thunder was even close to us. The rest of the week will also be rather rainy and I like that. Next week they’re guessing will be sunny and warm though.

This is called Litchie tomato, full od sharp needles.
The pack choi I planted.

There’s only one negative thing with this, so far it has been so dry that I’ve only seen one slug. That was a slug that eat other small slugs and their eggs so I like that one. However now the population with all kinds of slugs will most likely explode so I can only hope they won’t eat everything I’ve planted, like my broccoli, tomato plants and carrots. I do hope they don’t like garlic though but they do seem to like smelly plants so that might be a hope in vain.

Broccoli
Some kind of Asian cabbage

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and after that I better go outside and close the greenhouse for the night. Tomorrow we’ll get the new robot for cleaning the pool floor. It will help a lot because then it doesn’t matter if I can see the bottom of the pool or not 🙂

Squash but I can’t remember which one 🙂
Gooseberries, these will turn red when ripe.
Heart Walnut.

Have a great day!
