Allotments 4 All

Can't remember being pleased to see the rain on a bank holiday before.

First rain since the end of March - just in time for some of the plants which are dropping their leaves to recover, I hope.

What joy -its rained here today - with proper rain-and the lottie looks wonderful!!!!

Poured down last night and cats an dogs most of the day, the sun came out about 3ish and been nice since, but still windy though. 8) ;D ;D ;D

About a thimble full, here in Sunny Southampton.... but we are forecast for more... fingers crossed!

Yep - downpour here, and about time!  Typically, we'd just been to pick up a water barrel for the garden but it was raining so hard - and windy - that OH gave up and came in til it was over! - so we've probably missed the only downpour for the next month or so  ;D  Still, it's up and waiting now - and the sun is shining!   
V windy here at the mo - peas and mange tout are getting a bit of a battering  :(

The water butt in my garden was empty, after the downpour it is now full to the brim. ;D ;D ;D

Hull got about ten seconds worth, not the heavy that was promised. Maybe tomorrow XX Jeannine

Here in Wincheser nice gentle drizzle first thing, then a gentle downpour - then sunshine to dry everything again.  Not enough to fill the waterbutts, though.  And still quite windy.

Glorious rain arrived this morning to fill all the cracks in the lawn.   Weeds have popped their heads above the parapet and I lost a big courgette leaf to the wind.   Torch on the ready for the big slug hunt tonight!

We had the odd drip in Birmingham, and that was all. What a let-down!

I know for sure it was raining all night in the Milton Keynes area, as I was camping in it!! Secretly pleased though I know it will be all weeds when I go down tomorrow.

Gonna build me a pipeline from that Enfield waterbutt, this site is for sharing  ;D

It's pouring down here in Kings Lynn. Has been drizzly showers all day, but we are now having a downpour. Fantastic! Although I am a little worried about my squash.

We had some rain overnight on the edge of Salisbury Plain then a shower that lasted for about half an hour this afternoon.  However, the soil is still as dry as dust.   :(

Sorry Ninny but it's all mine, all mine hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa :P :P :P :-* ;D ;D ;D

raining like cats and dogs here - YIPPIE

can i order a dry still warm day for tomorrow please with a side helping of winning lottery numbers

We had an hour of heavy rain yesterday morning, but it all looks as dry as ever now. There's more forecast for this evening; I hope it materialises.

          Still raining in Plymouth, L.R. forecast gives us another 5 days of it, going a bit over the top now.

I'd be quite happy with a week of torrential rain; we no longer know when we're going to get the next lot!
