so since i started this thread it has only stopped raining for about 10 minutes! it looks like it might be floods now. oh it would be funny if it wasn't so worrying! couldn't be better for the garden though. everything has shot up but that means the weeds have too!

Totally torrential here since lunchtime.  Forecast to continue for next 2 days.
Hoping the bags of potatoes don't flood  :-\

Wishing we'd bought the larger water butt now !

This year we seem so far to have got the timing about right for spraying and re-seeding the pasture.  I even got round with the slitter so the rain that's now falling should be going properly into the ground.   Last year was the opposite: we had two fields re-seeded in April only to have two and a half months with no rain and they stayed brown.

Fed up = gales and rain again this morning. I just want to get outside for longer than the 5 min bouts to collect Logs, feed the ducks and  chickens and collect the eggs.
" pigs arrive today so 6 inches of mud due by tomorrow afternoon !
More decorating of the spare room I suppose. >:(
