Very well formed driveway stood up very well to torrential rains - also super drainage job done along with this driveway by Keith Abbey & Son.
Highdown Gardens near Worthing, West Sussex.
An early season stroll on a rare sunny morning, following yet another night of heavy rain. The gardens was muddy in places, and areas of lawn were roped off to allow the grass to recover from the relentless waterlogging.
But the birds were singing their hearts out. Flowering cherries and Malus were bursting with bloom. Staphylea trees ... some tulips ... Euphorbias ... Primulas ... spring Cyclamen ... Leucojum. It won't be long before the ancient Cercis blooms ... it's covered in buds. And I will be interested to see how their Eremurus experiment does (still under fleece wraps) ... Eremurus can be tricky at the best of times.

The first monsoon showers have pushed the vegetable prices up in Punjab and Haryana, including Chandigarh. The prices have nearly doubled in the past three days due to shortage of supply.
Price of most of the widely consumed vegetables—tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower and potatoes—have gone up by 50% to 90%. As per the prices in the retail market, prices of onion and cucumber too have gone up by 20-30%. The highest increase was in the price of coriander, green chilli, peas, tomato and bitter gourd, which are now available double the price.
Vegetable sellers are expecting more increase in the prices as more rain is expected and there will be shortage of supply.
“The prices have increased in the past three days due to short supply. The prices may increase further as heavy rains have damaged crops in several parts of the state,” said Gulshan Singh, a trader at Karnal vegetable market.
Another trader, Sham Lal, said, “Due to waterlogging, harvesting of some vegetables has been delayed.” He said tomatoes come from Himachal Pradesh and the supply has been affected.

It wasn't sunny, but neither was it raining ... and this year we have to grab our chances while we can!
It was a bit early in the season but there is always something to see. Magnolias, Camellias, Primulas ... Stachyurus catkins ... and little bulbs defying the constant rain. Parts of the lawn were off limits due to waterlogging, and one section was cordoned off so they could do tree work. And to finish, a bowl of homemade tomato and red onion chutney soup and a piece of cake in their Midpines Cafe.
Petasites japonicus, also known as butterbur, giant butterbur, great butterbur and sweet-coltsfoot, is an herbaceous perennial plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to China, Japan, Korea and Sakhalin and introduced in Europe and North America. It was introduced to southern British Columbia in Canada by Japanese migrants.
It is dioecious, with male and female flowers produced on separate individuals. Occasionally, morphologically hermaphroditic (but functionally sterile) flowers exist.
The traditional preparation method for this vegetable involves pre-treating with ash or baking soda and soaking in water to remove harshness (astringency), which is a technique known as aku-nuki (灰汁抜き, literally "harshness removal"). The shoot can be chopped and stir fried with miso to make fuki-miso which is eaten as a relish thinly spread over hot rice at meals. The bulb-like shoots are also picked fresh and fried as tempura. In Korea, it is steamed or boiled and then pressed to remove water. Sesame oil or perilla oil is added in order to make namul.
Like other Petasites species, fuki contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) which have been associated with cumulative damage to the liver and tumor formation. It also contains the carcinogenic PA petasitenine. The concentration of hepatotoxic PAs can be reduced to a concentration below detection limits with a proper extraction process. Since many alkaloids are bitter, traditional methods of preparation may have evolved to remove them.
The Ainu people refer to the previous inhabitants of Ezo as the Korpokkur or "people who dwelt below ground"; the name can also be interpreted as "people beneath the fuki", and so they are popularly associated with fuki leaves in art and mythology. More fantastic depictions of the Korpokkur portray them as tiny, fairy-like creatures small enough to use the leaves as roofs or umbrellas.

This is a typical example of the damage caused to the paths in How Tun Woods by the cross country runners yesterday afternoon.Something must be done to make the paths safe,as it would be very easy to slip and fall on these surfaces now.
