Raining here, slow and steady, about 1 cm has fallen in the last 24 hours.
Predicted to rain for the rest of the day. Fingers crossed.

Here in Leicester we have had about 1.5" of rain in the last two days, with snow to top it off today. Plot had lying water everywhere this morning.
Both IBC's now fully topped-up, ready for summer.

We had a few very brief showers yesterday and a couple of very very very brief ones today the spots just about joined up. Nice sunny afternoon if you could get out of the wind. Been down at the lottie watering my seed beds. Not enough even to get the weeds excited. Sun soon dried off the little there was. Met office showing heavy rain for 10pm so there is still a window of opportunity.

Finally got some real rain yesterday. I went out during the afternoon and waterbutt had been leaking so after mending was hoping to fill it. By 6pm there was only a little in the bottom. But finally about 10pm the skies opening up and the rain came down. Butts full. Soil wet no dry patches under the surface.
Been down at the lottie mulching everything up. The half rotten straw from last years bale grown courgettes is very useful.
I do beleive the broadbeans are already twice as big.
Can dig again now. It was like concrete.
