Allotments 4 All

It's raining at long last in Rye  ;D  ;D  ;D  nothing to do with the fact I have a washing machine full of sheets and duvet covers all ready to hang out ......  ;D

Please, please send some up here!!!!! Preferably not today gotta get raised bed made!!!!

Good luck with the raised bed - will send some rain for tomorrow........ if only it were that easy   ;D

it rained here this morning :D but didn,t last long  :'( went to the plot yesterday
and where the failed winter cabbage was has great wide cracks in it  OH has dug where i didn,t want him to and now it,s big hard lumps that are crying out for a good soaking  :P hopefully i shall be able to do a raindance by the end of the week
marg 46 hours to go

Do you have water on your site Marg?? we soaked the bed for our pots the night before digging (at least 12 watering cans full ) and it worked a treat  ;)

not even a whisper of rain up here  :(

yes we have troughs and rainwater butts OH gave the spuds, onions and beetroot  about 10 cans it,s incredible that the 1st potatoes are peeping up
things are difficult at the moment as OH is not a gardener, i am but have had my leg encased in plaster for the last 6 weeks so can,t do a lot of carrying would love it to rain so i can give lumps a good bash

It was raining in Hamstreet as I set off for London on Sunday a.m. but dry as a bone 4 miles away as I approached Ashford. Normally the other way round with less rain than the rest of Kent - is it the same for Rye?

What is rain?  ???

It seems to be Barnowl, have only lived here since last summer, after a v wet and windy winter we have had one hours rain in about 5 weeks.  Looking at metcheck and the beeb it does seem to pass us by down here, although the long term forecast says that over the next month the SE generally will miss out on the rain.....

Are you down in the SE Multiveg??

We have had a couple of hours of rain since the 1st of April which didn't soak in - I am holding off transplanting anything until it rains. So if anyone knows of a good rain dance - rain prayer or anything else can you let me know as getting desperate!
