Lack of water - no new plants
Today, a sad executive decision. We will plant nothing new until the drought is over. The thought of spending water on plants, then being forced to let them die is too sad for words.
Already we are finding it difficult to keep the vegetable patches watered, given that we are only allowed to do it on two days of the week, and only then between 6 am and 8am in the morning, and 8pm and 10pm at night. Our tomatoes are limp and singed by the sun. The lettuce is running to seed. We will harvest, try to feel lucky, and as ground becomes clear it will lie fallow. How sad.
The papers are predicting that the drought will break in March. I hope so. How good it will feel to get winter brassicas and lettuce and broad beans underway. Until then, I am frustrated.
