Bringing in the leaves

It hasn't been very cold yet, but it's been pretty damp and chilly. I've been working on bringing in plants that don't like that kind of weather. Some of them spent the summer on the front deck, and others were down on the ground on the north side of the house, where they got good light but no direct sun. Now it's time for them to get used to the greenhouse again. We had this little glass structure built onto the side of the house, over the back door, six years ago.

Rainy weather will create a good evironment in the greenhouse for plants like these — light and not damp.

Here's a close-up so you can better see the kinds of plants plants I've brought in.

It rained most of the day yesterday. It's supposed to rain again this morning. Maybe we'll see the sun this afternoon. (The red diamond on the map shows where Saint-Aignan is.)

However, this morning's weather forecast for Saint-Aignan this coming week shows rain every day.

  1. We’ve got occasional rain today. Not much, but still a rarity. And now I’ll try to get Bringing in the sheaves out of my head before we’re rejoicing.
