Although we still have that Meditteranean impact with the very warm summers, the Apls influence also brings us lots of cold air, turning our climate into an oceanic one. Also due to the hills I&#8217;ve mentioned earlier and the elevation of our own hill the rainfall in a bit different. Here when it rains it rains for days. We get long dry periods with lots of stable weather. It can happen that all through Croatia there is rain but in our small bubble of a few kilometers, it can be missing for weeks. Once the bubble bursts we get more rain than the rest of northwestern Croatia and the clouds keep on forming. Also, we can have periods of intense fog that last for days, sometimes even weeks without a single minute of clear view. The last longest fog period was in 2017. When we had 17 days of complete fog with temperatures around freezing point. At least the view when the fog started to clear was amazing.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-OVnjjoDnZZY\/X4K0Ak0fQ-I\/AAAAAAAAAgQ\/ekabfrK7s7cqwNWTKyPNqFvk2VUddwhWQCLcBGAsYHQ\/s2048\/2017%2B%252827%2529.JPG?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"2048\" data-original-width=\"1536\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-OVnjjoDnZZY\/X4K0Ak0fQ-I\/AAAAAAAAAgQ\/ekabfrK7s7cqwNWTKyPNqFvk2VUddwhWQCLcBGAsYHQ\/w480-h640\/2017%2B%252827%2529.JPG?resize=480%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"480\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-Hnpw7P0xrFI\/X4K0AmRlOlI\/AAAAAAAAAgM\/YJrFB3TPjK4CvJKemmc8HZpShkWDpDwhACLcBGAsYHQ\/s2048\/2017%2B%252832%2529.JPG?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1536\" data-original-width=\"2048\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-Hnpw7P0xrFI\/X4K0AmRlOlI\/AAAAAAAAAgM\/YJrFB3TPjK4CvJKemmc8HZpShkWDpDwhACLcBGAsYHQ\/w640-h480\/2017%2B%252832%2529.JPG?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"640\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">Like I mentioned earlier when it rains it rains for days and this is exactly the position we&#8217;re in today. Out of 10 days of October 6 were rainy days with 60 liters of rain so far. September was dry giving us only 55litres throughout the month so these 60 liters in a couple of days are a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">Of course, this brings problems to the garden. The excess of water makes the garden extremely slippery and there is no way to do any work. I need at least two dry days to do anything and with rain every other day there&#8217;s no way to garden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">Luckily we got a small break from Thursday to Saturday(it&#8217;s already raining again today) which allowed me to get to the garden yesterday. It was still a bit slippery, but not as much as the day before.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">As I said in one of my past posts the two beds I&#8217;ve dag earlier are not enough for all the vegetables I want to sow before the winter. So I had to deep dig at least two more beds before November so that I could sow spinach and garlic and transplant chard. I was planning to clean one of the bean beds and a pepper bed and dig them. But when I got to the garden I&#8217;ve noticed that the peppers are still blooming and producing small peppers and I couldn&#8217;t force myself to pull them out. I&#8217;m aware of the fact that they won&#8217;t give me too many peppers but I just felt too bad removing them. So I took down the old pole bean bed. The purple pole beans stopped producing beans last week and although this is a very narrow bed it will be enough for the garlic.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-P_52kabDQkI\/X4K2pRk61GI\/AAAAAAAAAgk\/07AG0ar7v8I9_0ZiI5M0iHaz1KHM02b1gCLcBGAsYHQ\/s2048\/IMG_20201010_113827.jpg?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"2048\" data-original-width=\"1152\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-P_52kabDQkI\/X4K2pRk61GI\/AAAAAAAAAgk\/07AG0ar7v8I9_0ZiI5M0iHaz1KHM02b1gCLcBGAsYHQ\/w360-h640\/IMG_20201010_113827.jpg?resize=360%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"360\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-5VdJaTyDGVs\/X4K2pGEUi3I\/AAAAAAAAAgg\/5_TIn18OVWgQqC7nYkCpU0qmVAJOmbZYQCLcBGAsYHQ\/s2048\/IMG_20201010_113834.jpg?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"2048\" data-original-width=\"1152\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-5VdJaTyDGVs\/X4K2pGEUi3I\/AAAAAAAAAgg\/5_TIn18OVWgQqC7nYkCpU0qmVAJOmbZYQCLcBGAsYHQ\/w360-h640\/IMG_20201010_113834.jpg?resize=360%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"360\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">I knew deep digging will be a struggle this time, due to the wet soil, but I wasn&#8217;t prepared that it will be so hard. The soil is like sticky tar and getting it off the spade required a lot of shaking and banging. I can honestly say that once I got the bigger bed done I wanted to give up as I was starting to get nauseous from the work, but after a short break, I finished the smaller bed anyway.

While I&#8217;m still harvesting the two yeared caned the young canes are already flowing giving me an almost non-stop harvest.
