Hi GrannyJanny, didn't realise you were in my part of the world!

Just been rained off my plot - I was in the middle of planting out a third wave of peas when the drizzle started & the rain was running off the end of my nose when I'd finished. 3 miles away near home, it's dry. Typical, although we have a severe weather warning in force for the rest of today. We need the rain, but it may be more than we can cope with.

Ho Hum.

A little here last night but not enough to do any good. Just need a good rain. Trying to extend the small veg area in garden but impossible to dig (well it is for me)

Me too, lorna!

Hoping for lots of rain tomorrow!

I've just looked to see where you are after my comment, Lorna.....then realised why we have the same problem...and Plot 69!

Nuffink in Sarfest London - well not in Forest Hill. Drysabone! I'll need to get down the plot and water it - that'll make it rain.

not a drop here in Southend either, been away all week, hope someone has watered for me on the plot. At least the weeds wont be too bad hopefully.

Well we've had a good amount of rain, got my hoe out waiting for the weeds now. ;D

Kea. Looking more promising this morning, not sure how long it has been raining. I sometimes have to visit the garden in the middle of the night, well not me but a dog that often gets me up, but last night she slept all night. So I only know it was raining when I got up at 6.50am :)

At the moment it's chucking it down here in Peterborough. Not sure how long it's been raining for but every drop is very welcome...

Looks like Ghandi might need his wellies on.

charlie888 · « **Reply #35 on:** May 15, 2009, 09:27:17 »

It's definitely raining in Leeds - i had to wade through mini rivers to get to work this morning! oh well at least it's doing my plants good even if I've now got very soggy feet!

thifasmom · « **Reply #36 on:** May 15, 2009, 09:46:59 »

not sure how much but some fell last night into this morning, did a test and the soil is wet about 2" down. the sun is out now with some wind so it will probably all evaporate ::).

Yes Finally, it did look a bit light when I got up...about the same time as you, Lorna. It has picked up though I wouldn't say it's chucking it down just steady rain, hopefully it's not just bouncing off!
