Allotments 4 All

Well, fingers crossed.  According to metcheck, my part of Chelmsford is forecast rain on Tuesday then again on Thursday.  I really really hope so!  We are yet to have any April showers!

you lucky thing ... hope we get some, 3.5 waterbutts now empty.

Hope you are right EJ - send it a little further south please if it does come your way!

Oh thank heaven!  I'm sunburnt from being on the allotment today and have spent the evening feeling easily as dehydrated as the poor soil up there  :(

Having been looking at the BBC five day forecast over the last few days and predicted rain has moved from Monday to Tuesday and now Wednesday :'( :'(

Its raining here in Teeside now! About time too.  Started 20 minutes ago. Bit heavier than a shower but its better than nothing.

We will have to start a rain dance in the South soon

haven't had rain here for a month,no water in butts ,

have a lovely tan though ;D/shades x

Nice shower this morning in North Wales, still warm though, given everywhere a lovely fresh smell :)

Metcheck are prophesying a wet week in Birmingham. Let's hope it materialises.

been raining here in the north west all night and on and off all day..not very heavy but nice though  :)

Weather men keep changing the day it is supposed to come, guess if they keep changing they are bound to get it right soon

A miserable few minutes of rain here today in Derby, then back to just cloudy and sullen... :'(

just 5 mins of light rain for us this afternoon.

Heavy rain predicted here Tuesday night - do hope they have got it right.

the rain predicted for the south on wednesday, according to the bbc this morning, will, again according to the BBC tonight, now not arrive. I wonder if they really know

Well the BBC weatherman this evening showed a lovely band of rain covering the north of Englandcoming in tomorrow.  How jealous am I!  Looks like we might be lucky Tuesday, but most likely Wednesday.  My parsnip seeds are never going to germinate at his rate!

Yes  Emma, we will get the rain as per usual.  Had a rotten week as well with Wind, cloudy and really cold.  Got the heating on.......   wish I could send the rain south to you.   :'( :'(

I got three loads of washing dry in the garden today - while looking at the sky and muttering darkly  :)

Hasn't stopped all morning in South Chesh.  Bit of a pain as today is the only day I have any lottie time until Saturday & I'm really behind in getting things in.  I'm really glad its raining for the flower garden as it's been parched, so if it carries on, I might just get into my waterproofs, put some covers on the car seat and squelch down to the lottie anyway & at least get some potatos in.
