Wet Wednesday

Wednesday was a rainy day, but luckily Hazel, Rory’s wife, equipped us with waterproof pants and jacket—yes I came to Ireland without a rain jacket. I know I’m smart.

Today I planted thyme, turnips and some flowers. We then potted up beetroot (beets) and sweet peas, which should be picked later this summer. Everything in the garden is growing, the sunflowers are about to fully bloom, and lots of stuff is getting ready to harvest. Most stuff, like the tomatoes, potatoes and artichokes still have about 5-6 weeks left. Overall, it was a tiring, wet, muddy, rainy day, and it should be a relaxing evening tonight.

Final weekend plans still unknown. This trip has gone crazy fast—only 5 days left.

Peace from Ireland for now….
