What we bought, spent and ate this week

Hello Dear Reader,

Guess what? We got rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, that is such of an over reaction, but WE-GOT-RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, i'll try that again, yesterday afternoon, all through last night, till early this morning, we received 108.4 ml or 4.25 inches of heavenly, wet-wet-wet rain. And the extra bonus is....wait for it...out water tanks were installed yesterday AND they are full to overflowing, I mean, I really can't believe our luck. At last all of our plans to plant out a productive garden may come to fruition this season.

I've left it a bit too late to raise veggies and herbs from seeds, for this growing season, so I will probably opt for seedlings from our local garden centre, if memory serves me correctly, they used to have a special of 5 punnet for $10. That will give me a good head start for the Autumn/Winter season.

I wish I could package the rain up and send it out, for those still in drought, I know, on a very small scale, how having no rain can effect your garden, I'll call our dry summer, a minor upheaval in our plans to have an abundant garden, it does not compare, even in the slightest, with what our farmers life of heartbreak and unending dry continues to be.

This seems so trivial compared to the above paragraph, but here is what we bought, spent and ate this week, with thanks to our farmers.
