Never thought I'd say this...

[HeyWayne]

but we finally had some rain last night.

It was only the other day that I noticed how low the water was in our water bucket/pond type thing, and LadyWayne mentioned that our grass was dying off (she'd mown it the day before). I hadn't noticed that we'd not had rain for what is possibly weeks.

I'd been watering the chillies every other day (and they looked very dry on some days - so should be full of heat), but not really thought about rain.

Madniss innit? It's September and it's been the driest month so far here I reckon.

send some down here then, we not had any for weeks and weeks either, butts are dry, grass is awful, can't get any bulbs in as the ground is like concrete so having to put them all in pots this year!

We had some of that fine stuff, but proper rain, it must have been at least 4 weeks since, having said that we do have some black clouds building up as i type.

[janeyo]

but can you wait til the builder gets the roof back on before sending too much? Thanks

[FionaH]

drizzling a bit here, but no proper rain to speak of for weeks

[HeyWayne]

Not that I'm complaining you understand, merely an observation!

[Nicos]

I'm having to water my hydrangea bushes now!!

[Incy]

Amazingly it's been pretty dry here for the last couple of weeks. We had some rain yesterday and when I checked the met yesterday we had rain forcast every day this week. Now there is none forecast until Sunday night.
Finally a dry patch. I've been waiting all summer for this

[ginger ninger]

Quick up date...It didn't rain. Looks like I'll have to water after all.

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Well it's raining up here - horizontal rain

[HayleyB]

We have been re sculpturing our garden in a big way, a process that has involved moving lots of soil and lifting well established plants, the dry weather has been a boon.

As we have just finished laying 40 square metres of turf, which needs watering every day, I will be doing a rain dance to save me the trouble.

Its been dry for over a month here in Leicester.

We had rain this afternoon nearly 5 minutes worth.
