Morning all. We had some delicious rain in the night...well of course we did. The ground has been like stone for two weeks and Diggerboy is coming on Saturday so no doubt by then he'll need a hoverdigger. The thing about here is that when it rains IT RAINS! No irony but he's coming to talk over/sort out the shocking drainage among other things. 🤷♀️
Morning everyone, no more rain overnight , the first waterbut isn't refilled, the big one is still empty. On another note (literally), "our" local blackbird seems to be in fine voice too, we are also hearing a wren up close I think it may be nesting in the ivy behind a climbing Rose just to the left of the patio. Have a good day all.
I went to bed to soft rain - just the job! But by the time OH came up, it had stopped. There may have been another shower in the night - things are wet but there is only a tiny drop in the bottom of the buckets and cans I have outside. The waterbutt is still only half full.
My mojo is in full working order @plant pauper but the muscle I pulled in my back when enthusiastically gardening is still hurty and leaving me frustrated as the jobs I wanted to get done remain undone.
But I can't be as frustrated as poor @D0rdogne_Damsel and her ongoing house saga.
We had flattened plants before the rain @punkdoc … some of the perennials had flopped really badly. Some chopping back to do methinks. But yes I know what you mean … apparently there’s a tree across the road between here and the farm shop two villages away.

Hello all, our rainfall here continues unabated! More storms, the garden is a jungle and flattened. Getting really fed up up with it now, not helped by my stinking cold which is now turning into a hacking cough. I was supposed to have a mammogram this morning but had to cancel it. I am trialing DIY Ollas this year for watering, well that's a joke! I need drought conditions to see if they work!

Well, we have had rain, but, as always, the wrong sort. Far too heavy, so lots of flattened plants, need to do some trussing.
