Rain Dance....PLEASE

[dingerbell]

OK fellow Lottie workers, can everyone get off the computer and go outside and perform a Rain Dance. I'm tired of lugging containers to the lottie to quench the thirst of my poor veggies. ;D  It's looking like the Kalahari Desert out there....I'm desperate for some rain...about 5 nights worth would be just perfect.....Thanks in advance....Dinger

What is "rain" ???????????? :(

[Mrs Ava]

The last huge dowpour for us was Wednesday so we aren't to desperate, altho every little helps.  Very overcast and muggy here so am keeping my fingers crossed for a stormy wet night!

Been pouring here in Dundee all day.

[Mimi]

And here in North Wales   >:(  Can you stop now.... I want the sun back for the last few days of my weeks holiday please  ;)

[Mrs Ava]

Just done metcheck and we aren't due rain until Wednesday night through until Thursday morning.  That is great, would be perfect timing for me to spend Friday on the plot!  ;D

We get '3mm on Tuesday night', elsewise no more than decimal 3mm for 2 weeks.

You saw my brassica!!

not had chance to play with me sprinkler since i bought it !!!!!

;D

[Emagggie]

Your day will come, MrsKP, your day will come...... ;D ;D ;D ;D

[MrsKP]

think i've had my chance this year.  two and a half weeks of scorching sun and now back to grey, cool, drizzle.

trouble is after such a lovely fortnight recently, i'm sure everything is going into hibernation now, mind you if i stopped prodding and poking everything and watching things every 5 seconds, maybe all my babies would put on a little spurt without me realising it.

;D

[tim]

All is forgiven. Despite the gloomy forecast................

IT'S RAINING!! 

Felt just great out there this morning in T shirt & boxers!

[supersprout]

I've abandoned my principles.
Danced all the way to Homebase and danced all the way back with ...
a Sprinkler :-[ :'( :-\

[MrsKP]

naughty but nice.  don't bath for a week and you can justify it's use.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[tim]

Just DO hope that all you sprinkler folk use the things properly - ie don't 'sprinkle' - SOAK!!

And that means at least 2 gallons per square yard. Otherwise you're wasting that precious stuff!!

E&OE

[MrsKP]

my paths are still squelching from the soaking we've had all weekend.  whatever stands up to the wind will be well soaked.

won't get to use the sprinkler until next year now, by which time it will be banned.

It has tried to rain on and off all day, a few spots here, a few spots there, but although the sky is packed with big black clouds, no proper rain fell.  However, I have had a lovely day in my own garden pottering around, hacking back, deadheading, planting and so on, and was very suprised, and pleased to find the ground really still quite wet.  Found some more gorgeous flowers open which I missed yesterday - sexy cream coloured flag iris.  Yum!

Still waiting----and dancing...... here in our dry little corner of England. ;D

We had a few brief attempts at drizzle, but that was all. What's happened to this unsettled weather Metcheck were promising? We had a church picnic yesterday, it was a great success, and it looks like mild overcast DRY weather is set to continue at this rate.
