At Last

YIPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Finally it's happened; the rain reached sunny Skeg; maybe now my rotavator will do what it should do and dig, instead of just bouncing over the ground

Its been raining virtually since first thing yesterday morning - at least my water butts will be full!

Well it's not down here in the South, there was raindrops on the weather forecast for Thursday but they've disappeared. After suffering from molten mud all winter the ground is drying out rapidly, oh I can't win.
Perhaps your rain will come this way, fingers crossed.

The early showers yesterday prompted me to get out of the garden and go to a local car boot sale. I found a couple of large plastic drums (about 300 litres I think) very cheap. I've cut the bottoms out of them and will try them as compost bins. It's a neat way to keep the garden waste under control, if it works.

Where abouts in Birmingham are you Geo? Been raining in Erdington for the last 12 hours virtually

We just got a couple of light showers. Would'nt do the garden much good.

Erm..

I hope our rain does come your way because I want to get to the allotment!!

Do you go by Canoe..?

Only joking.

Here in dull leicester we are getting our first rain for 6 weeks, making the roads slippy though.

Its still welcome though Seasprout. With it having been so dry this steady drizzle is much better than a deluge at the moment.

Hummm...I know the feeling- There is only so much housework I can cope with now that I'm on a roll down on the lottie!
Not complaining though- we really do need this steady drizzle

Nothing wrong with natures watering can. Compared to the rubbish that comes out of the tap, I think the impurities in rain feed the plants as well as watering them ( depending what the impurities are, of course).
