Mobile paddy

I’ve spent a long time in the garden today, pottering around and doing all kinds of jobs. Before I came in I managed to do what I went outside to do – creating four little rice paddies in my Ikea pots that have no drainage holes. The rice seeds are Nembo, a brown risotto rice, from Seeds of Italy. I wanted some last year, but couldn’t find the seeds for sale. I ordered these last year to make sure!

Ideally they should have been sown mid-May, but I didn’t want to put them in before we went away and have them dry out – they need to be kept under at least 1 cm of water until harvest time.
