We are in the Peak District in Derbyshire, and it seems to have rained most of what was supposed to be summer!!!  I hardly watered my veg plants - the rain did it!!

Thanks for your 'encouragement'. That's two offers to take on someone's husband, 6 moans about the rain (what rain?!) and 19 assorted - but unrelated - comments.

I exaggerate, of course!

Oh well, back back to the irrigation pump.

Actually, we did have a reasonable amount of rain yesterday, but it's about the first significant rain for a month.

To answer someone's question, I don't have any animals - unless you include a couple of daft spaniels. Mine is an arable plot. So I am digging and planting when I do something which is why the rain or lack is a problem. I am starting to spend more time on weeding though as the plants I want get lost amongst the ones I don't want.
