rain shelter

This is my garden looking silly. Covered the chard and turnips. (Empty space in middle where carrots will be sown).

We had multiple thunderstorms yesterday, and there was supposed to be a heavy one overnight. I thought the young seedlings might get beaten flat, or washed away, so gave them plastic cloches.

Didn't have enough for all. So I used it as a comparison- how did the uncovered ones fare? Guess what, they were all fine. So I don't think I'll bother to do this again, although might still be useful for protection in cold snaps. But not really needed against rain.
