Operation Desert Storm continues in the Fens. It really is becoming a battle with no end in sight to the dry spell. The depth settings on the drills are nearly at maximum, and the pressure is begining to tell with a few minor breakdowns. Most of the peas are into moisture, but by no means all of them. I will have to have another look at the earlies to see how they are fairing. Some of them were lucky enough to get a storm at the weekend.
