Sprouting seeds in rainwater

If it wasn't raining so hard I would take photos of
all the beautiful seedlings pushing their heads above
the soil. Although if it wasn't raining so hard
perhaps they wouldn't be growing so well.
After a few days away I came home to bush beans unfurling, little groups of kohlrabi (so obviously brassicas) and cilantro and dill (already feathery). The beetroot need thinning once I can get outside again, and the last few peas that haven't caught hold of the netting will need propping up against the wind.
Oh, and I have one meal of black currants and one meal of gooseberries left to be picked.
The garden is a constant joy at this time of year, every day there is change and growth. Each meal can have something fresh in it – particularly if it's silverbeet! :)
