Good morning K.W.
I trust you're keeping safe and also hoping that the recent heavy rain hasn't caused you any problems.
We had it pretty bad here in the south of England, but not as bad as it appears to be in Germany. Happy growing.
Derek.

Good evening Derek,

thank you for your message.
Good to hear that you did not have any major weather problems.
I personally haven't had any major problems either.
But here in North Rhine-Westphalia almost 50 people have died.
Many cities are flooded. Hundreds of houses have collapsed.
Today I saw pictures and movies of cities I know well and have visited over and over again that I didn't recognize.
Terrible destruction.
It's an unprecedented weather disaster.

Tomorrow and Saturday we expect Rhine floods in Köln, hopefully not too high.
From Tuesday about 18:00 to Wednesday about 22:00, 200mm of rain fell on my terrace.


Best wishes

K.W.

Terrible news, K.W. A death toll that high is hard to accept these days. Please, stay safe.

Thank You Jose!!!

The spider mites are gone and the plants are growing again. In five years everything is forgotten.
