Yup, my first bulbs came from Tesco!
No rain here yet.  Hope it's not bad tomorrow I'm driving to Ingliston for the Gundog Show with Allez, but have to walk the other dogs first.
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Lots of rain and wind here in North Devon.

Hoping the pigs and chickens won't need wellies and armbands!!   :)

TERRIBLE NIGHT   and STILL raining now at 10.30am, but looking a bit brighter in the distance. Local villages have been flooded by the sound of it  :-[

I wonder what went wrong with my Garlic then  :-\...it came from Tesco's....but just grew lots of green stuff above the ground...and little else beneath the ground  ???

 >:(Still raining  >:(

very rough late last night , but just very wet and windy this morning . The electric went off this morning for an hour or so , maybe they were repairing lines somewhere.
  Another branch near the caravan ...about 4" dia.... but it was deadwood anyway , lots of small stuff ..the dogs are having fun playing with them anyway ....
  I don't know what the problem with the garlic was ? . If you plant in spring it has to be as early as possible for good results . Weather can also have an effect on it though  . It may just have been one of those years . Try a few more bulbs anytime now , and then stick a few cloves in, in spring, compare results.

 It rained here for most of the night and my yearling and minature shetland must have crossed the river before the rain, not a hope of them getting back across today, however according to the forecast that I have just watched it is to be dry here tonight and tomorrow. I sure hope so as there is not much field on the other side of the river and no way out.

OMG - when will it EVER stop  ??? ??? ???     Pigs are well peed off now :pig: - and I'm getting through mountains of straw.    Horses now in at night  :horse: - and bloomin glad about it they are too  ::)   Chooks don't know WHAT to do with themselves  :chook: - just stand huddled in their doorways etc waiting and keeping feathers crossed for some respite.    Goats bored to death  :goat: and now going stir crazy.   Turkeys - hmmm....not sure what they think  :turkey:.  Geese loving it as are the ducks  :&> - all that mud  ;D    The only things 'not bovvered' are the sheep  :sheep:

Anyone got an boat/ark we can borrow  ;)

I was just thinking about an ark, myself!!  Seems to have rained hard non stop for a week, although yesterday was a little better. Then last night it rained hard all night, with high winds. This morning, the fields were like rivers.  I got soaked feeding the animals before work, and had to try and unblock a land drain before leaving, so was absolutely soaked.

Stopped raining for the moment, but very dark and dull .......I cannot stand the mud though. The hens may have little feet, but they don't half make a muddy mess!!
