Hmmm, just when you think it's safe to put yer woolies and galoshes away, it has you running to grab them back out the cupboard ....
It's been 'in the air' here all day up to press ...
Didn't even fancy mooching around GH today - it needs reorganising - again - 'spose it'll keep

We spent the weekend setting up irrigation for our holidays but now its looking like rain for 6 days in a row before any sun. Wondering whether to take the risk and just not run the irrigation at all, might take a week to dry up the ground after all this rain ad it is!!!!
Hmmmm hmmm what to do what to do....Comment

Nothing is certain as the weather is very showery at the moment which means totals vary widely from one place to another, but the weather models are forecasting an inch (25mm) or more of rain in the next 10 days Computer model weather forecast charts - I don't think it is going to suddenly turn dry and warm. If it was me, unless the forecast radically changes I'd be leaving the irrigation off.

Penelope was correct, it did not turn dry and warm, it has been raining for the whole month. At this point we even have the heating on in the house! I close the greenhouse door because of the rain and wind and aphids multiply! I open the doors so beneficial insects can go in and eat them and everything gets cold, wet and soggy! Can't win! I picked the wrong year to start gardening...

Keep yer chin up Ryez - things can only get better ............
It's no consolation, but I think it's not just you who's suffering this dreadful soggy June - practically the whole country..!!!
Don't talk to me about greenfly ............... And as for the slugs ...........
It's July on Friday - Summer will finally appear, it'll be a transformation then, you just wait and see..!!
Flippin' 'eck ..... good job I'm at home today - just looked out patio doors and to my horror my runner bean frame was flapping about in the wind and rain ..... so after a quick mercy dash, managed to secure it firmly (I hope...!!!!). As if the poor bean plants haven't gone through enough with the ruddy slugs - I could see an army of new arrivals sliming their way to greet me .......... aarrgghh

Chucking i down outside again today. We seem to get a few good days of weather and then pay for it by a fortnight of crap.Comment

Unfortunately we are in a very changeable setup at the moment, with repeated troughs of low pressure moving in from the atlantic. Expect bands of rain, sunshine and showers. Once this pattern sets itself up it takes some shifting I'm afraid.A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard NimoyComment

Overcast and drizly yet again, and no sign of sun in the forecasts for the next 2 weeks *deep sigh*
Will this year go down as the summer without any sun? It certainly feels like it!Comment
