Topic: RAIN RAIN RAIN.....AND MORE RAIN!!

[manicscousers]

Hi to all fellow sufferers of the wet weather, and I fully sympathise with 'Duke', as I'm getting cabin fever and resorting to tidying my cupboards.  We live in Cornwall, where it has rained non-stop and very heavily for almost 3 weeks now.  The forecast tonight, Monday is for heavy rain tonight and tomorrow, and then very unsettled for the rest of the week with heavy rain and winds at the weekend. 
Sigh, its my first allotment year - I worked so hard to clear and plant and just right now feel very down and disillusioned.   Is there any hope forme?

hi, carosanto welcome to a4a  ;D
the joys of gardening  :o
we're coming to cornwall on saturday so we're expecting good weather, I've ordered it..hopefully we'll get a good september to make up for it...in 2001, we had the central heating on in august and it was boiling hot in september

I have been trying to get to my plot for the last few day's to lift my tatties but with all this rain I am worried they are going to be washed into my neighbours plot down hill from mine.

Will pop down later to check all is well as it has been blowing a gale all day.  Any bets on if the beans are still upright or just shredded by the wind.

The joy of living near the sea.

You want to be up here in the north west !!

4 days of sun in 2 months and 12 inches of rain !!!

It was 12 degrees C today at midday.August 11th !!!!!

Where's this Global Warming Gone ???

What a complete joke !!!!!!

Good day in the NW today. I managed 4 hours on the plot. The weather didn't drive me home. I was just knackered after digging up so many spuds! I am hopeful we will have good weather tommorrow. I need to finish tidying up our plot before the show at the weekend!
