get ready for the monsoon everyone !!!

The rain I can replace with the hose!, I wish the wind would knock it off.

I've had to turn all my tomato plants round and push the pots nearer the hedge so it supports them, trouble with pot gardening is that they get top heavy and blow over.

Trouble is now the tomatoes aren't getting the sun!!!

Doesn't do the courgette much good either

We haven't had any rain for ages. It looked threatening yesterday, but nothing. :o

Desperately need some rain as it is taking 1 1/2 hours to water every other day.

If you get any over the next few days, can you send it my way.

I'm near Worcester

Thanks

Blowing a gale in my part of Essex this evening! Great, just as drying as the sunshine!! :-\

Well I could invite you all up to Scotland I suppose. We had quite a few heavy showers today with strong winds. plenty water, want some eh??

Shame though, feel sorry for all your lotties and gardens. I am sure you will all get downpours sooner or later and probablay too much so there will be flooding.

:( :( :( :(

It will be heavy rain in N.Yorkshire next week, cos I am going there for a few days.

Birmingham water comes from Wales; maybe they've been having more rain there. It's ccertainly as dry asa bone on the plot.

Had some light rainon monday which dampened the plant pots but didnt do much for the soil which is bone dry again. To add torture to injury the wind today has dried things out even more.

My flower borders are like a desert and if it wasnt for my irrigation system the veg plot would be the same.

Please please please can we have some nice steady rain in (large quantities preferably). I can manage without the hot sunny days for a while.

OK, who has the rain? Not had any substantial rain here for ages. I'm in Dundee we are usually guarenteed rain. it's just aswell my allotment has taps and water is free, I just can't keep up with the watering.
I could take a dust bath on my lottie at the minute.
So whoever ahs the rain please send it here. :)

telboy · « **Reply #33 on:** July 20, 2005, 19:56:55 »

We all need 'steady' rain for 2-3 days - now, things are getting desperate for us holders!
I have no water supply & have just started to carry gallons to the plot to treat the runners mainly.
The winter veg. is looking very healthy - but, the large whites are moving in & laying!
I'm not gonna let the buggers win this year.

Does rain dancing work??

Carol,

We have wind, so to speak. It hasn't stopped blowing all year! Just rain for Cononley please!!

lorna · « **Reply #36 on:** July 20, 2005, 22:16:33 »

Tellboy. Doris pinks has been dancing for us and my 70year old bones have been dancing round the garden for days. All I have succeeded in doing is to give my sciatica a boost ??? :'(On top of that the wind is blowing like mad. ) Dare I say happy gardening? Lorna

Went to the village green today with the kidneys to feed the ducks, and the pond has dried up! Could not believe my eyes! One lonely little moorhen! I hope her babies were big enough to make their way in the big wide world before the pond became a cracked, dried, mud pit!

Robert_Brenchley · « **Reply #38 on:** July 21, 2005, 10:21:09 »

The stream at the bottom of my plot's dried up as well.

TEL · « **Reply #39 on:** July 21, 2005, 15:39:11 »

Never thought i would hear myself saying we need the rain it will be good for the garden.
Must be getting old.
And in bucks we have had one shower in the last two weeks or so.
