Bit too heavy here though - it's washing soil away! >:(

Started at about 4am here in Sussex, and moving towards the north west.

Good rain, not to heavy but steady. It is even working through the oak canopy to the ground under neath.

;D

Had a little drizzle this morning whilst walking doggy near the river here in Hertfordshire but now it is REALLY coming down ! Good for the garden which, otherwise, I have to water every day !

funny how having a garden makes you appreciate rain on a summer's weekend. i mean, nornmally, one hopes for sunshine and that, right? ;)

hope my grand canyons will disappear with the swelling of the soil again.....

Raining nicely in Essex

Don't think the local supermarket is too happy looking at all the bbq meat they had in the fridges

Been steadily raining here in Oxfordshire for several hours and I hoping it will continues for the next few days. Although I very rarely water on the lottie as we don't have mains water, just what we collect, all my veg are doing very well, even the lettuce.

Disappointed - not the 'torrential' stuff hoped for. And only 15mm against the 25mm forecast.

lorna · « **Reply #14 on:** July 24, 2005, 21:07:57 »

Glad to say the rain has returned and we have had quite a lot.. still raining. Lorna.

Still no rain here in Dundee and none forecast up until Thursday anyway. The bbc website only goes 5 days ahead.

Svea · « **Reply #16 on:** July 24, 2005, 21:40:26 »

sufficient amounts of rain - i did some sowings this evening when it had stopped. hopefully there will be a few more showers in the week - although i shouldn't wish for it as i cycle - commute which is horrible in bad weather.
still....divided loyalties here

I feared all would die, it's been so hot and dry,
With the soil more like concrete than clay...
Now it's chuckin' it down in old Camden Town
Wahey, wahey WA-HEEEYYYYY!!!

;D ;D ;D

Lovely heavy ground soaking drizzle all morning in this part of Essex. The sun came out this evening and the garden looked shiney and clean!

Steady rain all day in Birmingham, and it's still coming down. I managed a quick visit to the plot this afternoon and we'd had about half an inch at that point.
