Allotments 4 All

Hot, sunny spells and windy.  ;D ;D ;D

warm today rainning at the moment in bristol

.... West Essex ..... is a bit on the wet and windy side!  Blimey, could hardly see my hands infront of my face a few minutes ago!  We've also had thunder and lightning on and off for the past three hours or so. 

Thunder, lightning, flash flooding....not a good gardening day!

more rain thinking about building a pool lol

Unpleasantly cold & damp this morning - nearly turned the central heating back on, but the planet won & I added 2 or 3 extra layers to my normal garb. Then wet & windy all day; frequent very heavy showers with absolutely no notice!

Off to Hampton Court on Wednesday. They forecast wall-to-wall heavy rain (several inches).

But the plot's looking good. (Glad I cut the paths on Friday!)

Non-stop wet stuff down in West Sussex :(

Well it saves having to do the long trek back and forwards to the water trough to water all the newly planted plants. Unfortunately my new water butt is not filling  :'( because the one it's joined to sits on a pallet which has now broken making the water outlet from the first butt to the second too low. It leaks out instead. However I still have a lot of work to do like leeks needing transplanting and grass needing cutting etc

I did have some fine weather yesterday afternoon and picked 2KG Raspberries and 800g strawberries and the last of my gooseberries which were huge. But the rest of the day had been busy with getting my son to his clarinet exam and  the day before, his piano exam.

Heavy rain for days now,managed to strim last Friday,well ,Jim did.At least it looks tidy but behind on the weeding.

Throwing it down all day in Birmingham.

and here on Salisbury Plain!!  ???

Raining non-stop again today, but did some shed maintenance. This was a little awkward as a wren has built a nest in the roof (there are still a few places where small birds can get in).  Her chicks were squeaking loudly to be fed, so I had to keep going outside in the rain while she came in to feed them.

You should have been at Hampton Court! (No - you shouldn't!!)

Falling down all day. (It's still falling down now.) Dismal, muddy, depressing. Staff doing running repairs to the marquees as we were walking round; dumper trucks spreading wood chips; all brollies at eye level. We left at 2.00 exhausted & fed up. We just felt sorry for the exhibitors & staff, who are still there!

been raining all day in bournemouth and most of yesterday. i dont think we had this much rain through the whole winter. the last time i saw my plot it was full o weeds. dread to think what it will be like after all this weather ye gads.

All we get is a little drizzle!!

Well, here in the Peak District it was fine this morning, showers this afternoon, now it is just overcast. Can't believe how cold it is for July though! :-\

Nice yesterday but light rain at the moment.  :(      ;D ;D ;D

Really heavy rain showers all day,so fed up of it :(

Heavy showers this morning, then it improved gradually.

Nice& sunny here- not sure for how long!
