What's happening?

[flossie]

Had hoped to go to the lottie this morning but no...  we have a really heavy hail storm now!

Hope it's not coming my way flossie. I intended going out in the garden but we do have rain now, not very heavy but enought to get you wet.

I am still going to risk it though.

Just got in from the garden centre (about 9 miles away), had a thunderstorm there, bone dry here.  Picked up the keys to go to the lottie - and the heavens opened.

IS THERE NO JUSTICE?  WHEN WILL THIS END???????  WE'VE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!

I went to the lottie this afternoon, done some weeding, emptied another compost bin, fleeced my carrots and pulled up some onions to dry. As I was about to pack up about 3 o clock  it started to rain, halfway home it chucked it down and has been doing so ever since, saves watering later.  ;D ;D ;D

[Jeannine]

We had to cancel out our school open day today after we got all set up, we popped into the lottie on the way home and it is still waterlogged.Still forecasting rain for a week here too.

fleeced my carrots

New lottie, novice.  Netted almost everything, found out the hard way, pigeons.  Why should I fleece my carrots?

[flossie]

Carrot fly - makes a real mess of them

[asbean]

Unless you grow your carrots two feet up.  They can't (or won't) fly that high.

Managed to get most of my plot cleared and home before the rain fell, nasty thunder lightining that lit a dark sky.

Feet up now watching doctor who  ;D

[cazy]

Have thinned them out, tops are about 15cm above ground, look very healthy. Will fleece tommorrow. Many thanks.  can I transplant the babies?

Unless you grow your carrots two feet up.  They can't (or won't) fly that high.

Then how do they get over my 6ft high x 4ft thick laurel hedge?

[asbean]

The carrots are too far from the hedge?

[powerspade]

A few weeks ago I was praying for rain. Oh Lord please make it stop we all need the sun now. Its rained every day for three and a half week  here and I'm fed up.

[Si D]

They have just annouced on the news: last 10 days have been the wettest 10 day period in June since records began.

Me thinx that next week's camping trip to the Peak District might be put on hold  ::)
