October has been a mixed bag.
There have been good times, sad times and times to celebrate. Seasons are ever changing in Rwanda, and October is a month of torrents of rain. Sunshine, warm days, heavy rain and mud. Still a good place to live.
Heavy rain flooded the garden area. All planted seeds were washed away. We start over.
Walls do work wonders. Had the wall not been there, all the water and topsoil would have been in my house, plus much more. Retaining walls do work.
Rhubarb and tree tomatoes held the ground a little. A lot of rework to be done.
In process
The ground is ready for replanting. We have dug a ditch to have the water coming from the mountain bypass the garden. It was good to put more bricks in the walkway to avoid the mud caused by too much rain.
