As much as I wanted the rain I am a bit peeved that I hadnāt got my patio tubs all planted up. Ā I did go out last night and put the parsnip seeds in so theyāve had a nice wash in.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.Ā
Me also! I looked atĀ new hoses yesterday in Homebase, still undecided. I was thinking of getting another one to put on the lower level where the lawn and main borders are, to save me having to lug the big one to the front of the terrace, unreeling it all and throwing it 5 ft down onto the lawn. I'm trying to think of ways to make gardening easier for me now I'm over 27!
You're welcome @Dovefromaboveš I got mine for a similar reason. @Lizzie27. Got it connected up and tested. No leaks! Will connect the shorter patio hose to the longer one on the reel as and when. Do it. You won't regret it.š
Thatās why I got a soaker hose for the front garden ... now itās there āpermanentlyā and all I have to do is to run the hose down the side path and connect it to the soaker hose in the front garden ... no more lugging full watering cans (sometimes a dozen times or more) around to the front, with my dodgy painful shoulders šĀ
I tried a rainmaking method yesterday but it went a bit awry. We had a two-minute long heavy shower in the morning, then it cleared up. I decided to sacrifice my washing by not only hanging it out with big black clouds overhead, but then going out - dangerous! As my bus approached its destination - 3 miles from home - the heavens opened. Torrential rain, people running for cover, the works. Hurrah, it worked! I got wet but no matter, it RAINED.Ā
You guessed it: got home, not a drop had fallen. I need to work on my rainfall placement spells.Ā

You get a tin bath and add some water (this is the 'seed' water). Then you put your right leg in your right leg out in out in out and shake it all about. Works every time.ā

Could you do something like that @Lizzie27?
