Robert you may be getting drizzle, sorry we are getting downpours :). OH has a big Winter jumper on & I'm going to have to put some socks on ;).
Totally droughted out here :( Didn't realise how bad it was until I went to plant out brassicas on Friday.Beds with crops in are OK , but where they've been waiting for a second crop they're either concrete or gravelly dust. Even the badger's given up trying to dig up my carrots, they're locked solid.I scooped out big planting holes in the gravel and literally poured bucket loads of water into them - could hear cracking noises all the way down.It's pretty annoying because I had planned to put out quite a few things in August too, but doesn't look remotely feasible.Always heavy rain on the radar (now they say Friday) but it never comes.Note to self!!! Sow green manure after lifting crops next summer. Last year was a similar problem but not as bad as this.
