[jordsbabe]

.................... When will it stop raining and we can have something called a summer????


Rant over! lol!    :(

[debster]

soon please it is driving me mad, its bad enough working shifts and not being able to get to the garden as often as id like now all days off are too wet. weeds are getting to be bigger then plants

[Uncle Joshua]

Not for the next week.  :'(

[cacran]

It was the same last year, is this what global warming is???? :-[ All year round.... the same! Beam my up Scotty!!!!

[grawrc]

Debster I have the same problem! I'm on holiday now and have time to go to my plot but when I got there (after 2 weeks of marking exams and 10 days of visitors and parties and big family dinners when I went only to collect veg for dinner) I found enormous weeds.

All 5 of my Daleks are full to bursting and i've now had to resort to piling up the weeds between my shed and my greenhouse.

On the +ve side: I went to my plot at 11 today intending to stay for a couple of hours, and arrived home at 5. There were intermittent and sometimes heavy showers but I was still able to keep working. I've got about a quarter of the plot sorted! ::) ::)

I think its worse than last year,  last year we had a hot start then a month of rain, this year we had a warm start and then two months of rain and counting...

[amphibian]

We've had a pretty dry time here in Maidstone, except today, where is it that all this rain has fallen?

[vegmandan]

I'm going to grow Rice and Water Chestnuts next year then we can guarantee a drought. ;D

[debster]

im in sunny Devon but the sun is of the liquid variety

[tonybloke]

we've only had 1/2 inch so far this month >:(

[amphibian]

We've had three inches in two days, but before that it was pretty dry.
My impression is of an East/West split.

PMSL  :)

I'm in the West Midlands I think we've had one dry day which was Monday in about two weeks but it feels alot longer! :'(

Its really annoying. I always thought the older guys on the plot were boring by just growing potatoes, onions, leeks and brassicas. Now I know why. THEY ALWAYS SUCCEED!! Its like a fingers up at the weather.

I'm already growing rice (in the cat litter tray). It loves this weather and is already a few inches high.

You're right you know, conversely I am obsessed with growing tomatoes, aubergines, cucumbers, melons, physallis, chillies. No wonder I often lose.

I have to report from the (reputedly) driest county in England that we have had 2 days of non-stop rain, and if it wasn't for the fact that I lose my footing in my wellies in the mud, I'd be happy. But enough is enough. I'm bored with rain now. Sun please...but then we'd get blight on the toms I expect. No pleasing me ;D

[betula]

[ninnyscrops]

Never mind there has been no floods like there was last year so far...........and there was jsut the smallest bit of blue in the sky this morning......
