In the drought monitor (you can look it up) you can unfortunately see the whole drama.
It feels like it has been pouring here for weeks now (typical Sauerland weather 🙄). But the reservoirs are still not full again, and the water just hasn't reached the lower layers yet.

So I’m trying to appreciate the rain as well. But sometimes, somehow, that just doesn’t work anymore...

I’m always happy when it rains – as long as it’s not too windy. Still, a sunny day would be nice again; it’s starting to get me down...

Great weather, took a day off, and just got to work. It went really well.

Placed a birdhouse on the fence:

Built 3 permaculture “mid-height raised beds” W x D x H 300 x 100 x 58 cm (10 x 3.3 x 1.9 ft):

We still need a fourth one because we plan a four-year crop rotation cycle. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough materials for it, so off to the timber yard.

The British greenhouse was also delivered today, but it will need a foundation first.

I really like that! What do you plan to plant in it?

Just took a look at the front garden: daisies, borage, a primrose, moss phlox, and periwinkle are blooming.

The focus is on edible plants. Therefore, the beds are located beneath the terrace on the "basement level" and accessible from the kitchen. My wife is in charge of the planting plan; she knows which plants to combine so they protect each other from pests. This way, we avoid using pesticides. I will ask her more about it when I get the chance.

Ah, another picket fence... I would really love to have one.
