Hope we have a drop of rain soon.

Very dry here, but a bit of rain and my soil forms an inch thick cap.
I joked to a neighbouring plotholder a few weeks back, while some plots were still under water, that within a short time we would be wishing for rain! Seems it has come sooner than I thought :D
Yes, the recent winds have turned my mini plot into a dustbowl. Even the areas that were mulched with horse manure just rake over like dry soil. Amazing what a few weeks can make.
To all those wanting rain.
I am sending some this week.
Purple Heather - thanks, according to the forecast it's due here on Friday and Sunday, so that gives me Saturday to go to the plot ;D
You are welcome, the forecast seems to indicate that every one will get some rain during the week.
It is frost we do not want. Quite a lot have put things out, a little soon because of the sun we had promising an early summer.
:) I hope you are right PH our plots are rock hard and with the usual suspects hogging the taps with the longest hose pipes in the world >:( ;D it's not going to get much better / shades x
OK. So who's plot is now waterlogged ;D Who said they're going to send rain, it's bucketing down here in North Wales and has been for days. The weather changes by the minute and I no sooner put plants out to harden off, they get drowned by the rain and blown out of their pots by the wind! I know, it's a sign it's nearly mid Summer :D
hi we have had rain now for several days on and off,and our lotties looking good ;D
