How I wish it was me.................. ::)

you can spot a gardener a mile away in the rain. they're the ones with no hoods, brollies or hats, and big cheesy grins on their faces. x

Thats so true!  I popped up the road yesterday lunch to pick up some lunch in the rain and I had my cropped jeans, t-vest and flip flops on!  All the old dears with winter coats and brollies were looking at me as though I was insane!  (Probably right! ;D)

In answer to Val's question about what grows in the desert - perhaps this book would help:

I have a copy of the previous edition published in 1986 from when I lived there.  Only one page about veg though as he says it needs a whole book separately.

Think I might start looking at it again.

Good rainfall yesterday. Absolute deluge here today. Ducked out inbetween rainstorms,met neighbour who said a mate of his at the allotments told him the wet was only reaching down about 1/4 inch. Ended up at my allotment a while later,dug down a wee way...dry as a bone  :(

Ah well back at home my pots are looking alot better , the lawn has turned green and the rabbit's holes were full of water lol!

Nice and cool here again today, weather reports said we're in for some more rain too  :D

The horses are loving it, less flies to bother them and a nice patch of wet soil to roll in lol
