and there's no rain forecast at all for the next week. Not sure I can remember what that feels like, it's almost like a drought!!! :excited:

The High hit use earlier in the week so it has been lovely to get out in the veg patch  in a T shirt rather tha waterproof. 28 in the sun yesterday so I have been warned to use tools and not my hands in the garden - snakes are out!!!

Enjoy the sun everyone and just tell yourself you deserve to be outt there.

Well, must be spring as I mowed the lawn this afternoon! Had an experimental run with the rotavator over one bed and its nearly dry enough to get cracking with that job - maybe early next week!

Tell me about it. It was the day I started lambing. Had to call in some mates to build a shed to get them in out of the snow.

I think I've got about two days to roll the pasture before it gets too hard to make any difference.

well, a few days fine weather has made all the weeds spring up. The veg patch has gone from looking like the somme to looking like the somme with a load of weeds sprouting up all over the place. Still, the boss has given me some time off selling books to get it under control. I had big plans to double it in size, get a load more land dug over, will be a struggle now, will have to see what I get done.
