Seed sowing and Storm Hannah

Aubrieta, Purple Cascade
Storm Hannah is making its way across the country today and tonight. There's a status Red warning for parts of the West and South, but we will probably escape the worst of it here as it passes overnight. It was already quite windy earlier and my attempt at a bean support came down easily. I've moved it to a more sheltered spot now and will use it for Sweet Pea. It was probably too low and light for beans anyway. There were many heavy showers today including some hail, it's a big change from the warm sunshine a few days ago, typical Irish Spring. I got lots of seeds sown in the green house, did more weeding of the vegetable beds and secured anything that might blow away during the night.

The seed packet recommended sealing the tray in a plastic bag until germination.
