after the hot temperatures and lack of rain for 2 weeks up here in Leeds the heavens have finally opened in the last 5 minutes... its been like a dessert on the plot :-[
let it rain let it rain let it rain
;D ;D
When you have finished with it would you send it down to the Fens please?
Had a smatter and then it gave up :(
started raining in Lincolnshire 5 mins ago
any chance of passing it to Kent
here in liverpool too,not that heavy but lasted for hours..of course it started when we were in the middle of judging the liverpool allotment competition...and we had left washing on the line too ;D
Hmm..few drops don't make rain yet.. ::)
No rain in Warwickshire yet. I could enter Mr Universe with the muscles I am developing from lugging watering cans.
It began to "spit" at teatime :)
We got the washing in -it stopped :(
'Went down the lottie and watered >:(
It is raining proper rain here in North Manchester. Can't believe it, keep going outside, how sad it that. I had become very stressed. A garden and veg plot should be a pleasure at this time of year but I have nearly postponed our holiday so that I can water etc. We are off tomorrow for 4 days I will let nature take its course. No doubt the slugs and snails will be delighted. Don't care!!!
It rained overnight here on the edge of Salisbury Plain. It wasn't forecast so I am feeling very pleased and relieved.
Had some lovely rain here in Norfolk this morning, and still got some clouds! Hooray, I have been watering morning and evening to keep seedlings alive. May get a rest at last.

yes but it always rains in Manchester. i lived in Withington for 3 years while i did a degree, it rained every other day.
We had what I thought was proper rain first thing, but it didn't last long and already the ground looks dry.
rained all night here and i got soaked through in the walk from my door to the car when i went to let the chooks out this am!
Thought we had a lot of rain last night but after another hot day today it's still not enough!
Please could you send it here. We had a very very light shower last night just enough to join up the spots but not one drop more. Nothing got to the water butt from the roof, moss had it all.
Now there is hot and dry wind just like a hair drier. Did some washing and by the time the second load was finished they first lot was dry enough to wear. Plants are starting to droop even those that have been watered.
