    It's also raining - heavy, relentless and begins to remind me of 2013 Somerset Levels flooding.
    I think in the last 3 months we've had a lot less than half the rainfall we got in the 3 months leading up to the 2014 floods on the Levels. It does feel like it's been raining forever but it's actually been relatively dry, or spring was, anyway. Not counting the last 2 days which have been ridiculous. And I mean in the southwest - I think the south east corner has been quite wet, at least compared to what they usually get. Not really much wetter than here but it's normally a lot dryer over there than we're used to.

    Hope both you and your greenhouse are mendable

    It has been a LOT wetter here in the past couple of months than I'm used to. My plants are loving it (though we've had a lot of quite dark, dull days and they could do with more light, I think). The spring was incredibly dry though - the driest I can remember. All over the shop.

    The roses grew and flowered really well and then got hammered by the rain. I'm spending the time between showers pruning overgrown shrubs. 
    What the weather gives with one hand, it takes with the other. 
    The clematis have arrived late and missed the roses. Hopefully, they'll meet up with the repeaters later on.

    Just tripped over in GH and put elbow thru a pane of glass - a real pain in every sense of the word >:)

    Must have maintained the drainage channels after that flood surely?

    Nevermind the invasive alstroemeria I'm inflicted with invasive Disneyland adverts on this site. I have never in my whole life been interested in Disney. Even as a young kid their animations and films bored me.

    If modern Internet based advertising is supposed to be the most targeted ever because of big tech snooping then they've effed up completely with this ad campaign on my phone!!!!

    Isn't there an x in the top right corner where you can dismiss it and say why? Only polite options are available unfortunately.

    You need to do the cookie thing. I did it ages ago and hadn't actually twigged that the annoying ads stopped until you guys started talking about dysons

    @NorthernJoe go to Manage cookies on the black bar at the bottom of the page and then reject all.  I did this a couple of days ago and haven't had a single advert since.
