Waiting for Rain

[Scottishnewbie]

You can have it all matey.....I've been putting off going outside to feed the horses till the ark is finished....

Can I send you a SAB (Stamped Addressed Bucket)

[Spangles]

I'll sed you lot down there plenty of rain - its been non stop for the last 3 days and its blowing a hoolie

[RedThorn]

Know how you feel NOG... the Sahara desert seems to have more moisture in it than my water butt!

[selfraising]

Still no rain down here either. We've had a few drops but nothing worth mentioning. The sky earlier looked like it was going to chuck it down but nothing

[nikiwitch]

none in nottingham

[NOG]

u still no rain NOG????? Stopped ere a few hours ago

Not only no rain. its roasting down here.

[maytreefrannie]

Plenty of rain here - we've had a couple of sunny days but the rain is back today as per usual.

A comedian once remarked, "It'd be a great little country if they could put a roof on it."

Hope you get your rain soon.

I've been lying in the hammock in the sunshine - praying for rain - as my butts are empty too.

[Comfreyfan]

Well it's raining here Rana - I'm not that far from the Devon border so hopefully this will be heading your way! My butts are rarely empty! I had a spare butt last year which wasn't connected it was just left out and filled up anyway! Now I need to empty it in order to move it!

[SlugLobber]

Everything's rock hard around my area, too. I've been watering my container veg in the evenings, the last week or so, as the spuds were looking a bit wilted!

Enjoying the nice weather, though. No doubt it'll turn to **** in a few weeks!!

[OverWyreGrower]

We've had at least 3 inches of rain in the last 2 days...

I have standing water on my lawn, veg patch, paddock and bird run.

The chickens are officially *not happy*

[Two_Sheds]

Aha! We had a downpour this lunchtime, and now my 2 house butts are both half-full again.

[NOG]

It rained today but I have just used it all in the greenhouse.

[skegblade]

No rain of any significance here in Skeg since before Easter. We get the dark clouds but they all get blown out to sea.

[selfraising]

Hooray some rain today! On the not so good side, the wind has been giving my veg a real battering. Some of the garlic has really bent over.
