Well what a great rain, long and slow, perfect for softening the ground and every bit is seeping in.

The only downside is the effect it’s having on my strawberries and the figs – yikes – I should have put a preventive fungicide spray on a few days ago.  Oh well, there’s nothing like hindsight.  I was so busy ensuring that the weeds were sprayed and the insects were dealt with that I forgot about the DISEASE that might come.

As as soon as the drizzle is finished I’ll be out there to pull off the worst of them to hopefully stop the spread. It’s too late to stop it with a spray.  Drat.

How have your berries and fruits been this summer?
