Things are looking awesome after coming back from Drummond Island. For that matter, I'm doing awesome too. Drummond Island was beautiful, the work fun and educational, and the company jocular and cheery. It was a whirlwind afternoon in the garden, because shortly after arriving it began to DOWNPOUR! Sheets of rain pelted the garden and greenhouse, and within 45 minutes .4" of rain had come down. All the plants outdoors are established enough to withstand the downpour, and aside from a general plant sigh, nothing looks damaged. Luckily I escaped to the greenhouse mostly dry with a wheelbarrow of soil and compost, and spent the duration of the rain transplanting peppers into larger pots. They are looking very happy already, with little fruit on some plants and flowers on the rest, and I'm sure their roots will appreciate a little more space and nutrients. Hooray rain!
