Diary of a weekend gardener

Blackbird and thunder concerto

I've been driven indoors again by a cloudburst - see weather station for details. But we did get the coldframe finished, and very smart it is too. I only cleared half the pumpkin patch so I've potted the young plants on and put them in the coldframe to buy them time.

For about half an hour it was eerily beautiful - a darkening sky with constant lightning flashes, the advancing thunder providing the bass line to the soprano song of a single blackbird. There are worse ways to spend a Sunday afternoon.
