Woo Hoo!! And more forecast for later this week

I was getting sick of lugging a water from the troughs at the lottie

Been steadily sploshing in Kent - keep it up I hope

Bit too heavy here though - it's washing soil away! >:(

You lucky people!! Nothing, not a drop here in the Fens :'( Went to BBQ last night, overcast and thought it would definately rain., this morning still very overcast but still not a drop. Oh well MAYBE this afternoon. Lorna.

Started at about 4am here in Sussex, and moving towards the north west.

Good rain, not to heavy but steady. It is even working through the oak canopy to the ground under neath.

;D

Had a little drizzle this morning whilst walking doggy near the river here in Hertfordshire but now it is REALLY coming down ! Good for the garden which, otherwise, I have to water every day !
;D ;D ;D ;D :D ;)

funny how having a garden makes you appreciate rain on a summer's weekend. i mean, nornmally, one hopes for sunshine and that, right? ;)

hope my grand canyons will disappear with the swelling of the soil again.....

It's wet in Watford too :)  Steady drizzel whiich will soak right though my pile of dust!

But Guys, just think what the weeds will do? 

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed ;D

well i'm so new to this that i can't tell what are weeds and what are veggie seedlings ???
i'll just be grateful for anything green ;D

Raining nicely in Essex

Don't think the local  supermarket is too happy looking at all the bbq meat they had in the fridges

At last!! Had a nice steady rain for an hour but is now only spitting.Hope it starts again,hardly dampened the ground. Oh well thankful for small mercy's. Lorna.

Been steadily raining here in Oxfordshire for several hours and I hoping  it will continues for the next few days.  Although I very rarely water on the lottie as we don't have mains water, just what we collect, all my veg are doing very well, even the lettuce.

Disappointed - not the 'torrential' stuff hoped for. And only 15mm against the 25mm forecast.

Glad to say the rain has returned and we have had quite a lot.. still raining. Lorna.

Still no rain here in Dundee and none forecast up until Thursday anyway. The bbc website only goes 5 days ahead.

sufficient amounts of rain - i did some sowings this evening when it had stopped. hopefully there will be a few more showers in the week - although i shouldn't wish for it as i cycle - commute which is horrible in bad weather.
still....divided loyalties here

I feared all would die, it's been so hot and dry,
With the soil more like concrete than clay...
Now it's chuckin' it down in old Camden Town
Wahey, wahey WA-HEEEYYYYY!!!

;D ;D ;D

(does happy dance - not a pretty sight)

Lovely heavy ground soaking drizzle all morning in this part of Essex.  The sun came out this evening and the garden looked shiney and clean!

Steady rain all day in Birmingham, and it's still coming down. I managed a quick visit to the plot this afternoon and we'd had about half an inch at that point.
