Hi Archie, it's playing at raining & some stuff does need some. What we don't need is wind. Did you finally get your drains done? If you've already said, soz, missed it. Soon be curry night just got to get over the pasta night ( tonight) not my fav', but OH loves it.
Kef , it's been so mild, your cannas are probably ok. Have a ferret around to see if the root is still there.. Or was it underwater? Its spitting with rain here now.
Hopefully the stuff wont be in there too much longer :P
We very VERY rarely got a frost after the last week of April so another 4 weeks or so and I can think about starting to plant out some stuff and then get some toms and chilli's going!
Verdun, I only want gentle rain over my patch, none for you, fingers crossed. Poor Fairy has a pond in her back.
Thing is ours might be wet underneath but top layers have dried out too quickly, so drumstick primulas and some shallow rooted things, who normally have wet this time of year aren't happy.

Fidget thanks for encouragement but the poor things were in the past tense, about 6 yrs ago. If I'm honest I didn't forget I was too lazy & hoped they'd survive..not that winter.
Brugmansia "My Fidget" now has six leaves,and sprouting from most of stem. It lives in conservatory, outside on warm days and overnight at min' 6C. Has been potted on in multi-purp & had 2 weak liquid feeds. I know it should go into GH to toughen & slow but worried as weather overnight due to be very cold. I'm happy to keep potting on, even if it turns into a monster. What do you feed yours with when they start to grow? Got a nice prime place for it maybe mid May, depending on weather, well rotted manure already dug in.
raining here and v strong winds, reseeded lawn sunday, so did want a bit of rain..just a bit! kef did you send me a message? i couldn't read it but i am rather technologically challenged!
archie - that's almost barbecue weather for you...
Started to clear a bit here but that's the calm, before the you-know-what. Distinctly sleet laden clouds now and only 5 degrees. I could just about take off ma simmitt if it goes up a few degrees
MrsG - you can never have too many clematis and I bet they'll all be fine with a little tlc. However, I'm going to have to confiscate that white quince as we can't tolerate salty language you know....
I've got the perfect spot for it....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Very good Stacey - it wasn't there when I posted.
I've sent you all some rain - might be a touch of sleety snow in with it...enjoy!
