    If its raining and cold in Wales, I might still go in my garden, but if it is raining here (and assuming at not out at work or elsewhere), I will have a cup of tea and relax in the knowlege that I don't have to bother watering today.

    It's also raining and cold in Birmingham.
    So today I will do all the other jobs I should have done but didn't because when the sun was out I was gardening.:o
    I'm a fine weather gardener and wouldn't even consider doing anything in the rain or cold.:)

    When the sun is shining I want to be in the garden so I leave the housework - if it's raining I'm too depressed to do it anyway!! Works for me !!!

    If it's raining, I go through my planting plans and write notes all over them about what's good or not, what to move, add, implement etc. I also leaf through plant catalogues and old gardening magazines for a bit of inspiration. Oh, and I do the odd bits of housework that I never do on sunny days.

    I bake on rainy days and watch my garden closely through the kitchen window and make plans most of which i forget when the sun appears. Well they don't call this the emerald isle for nothing you know:hehe:

    I have to agree with Quercus I have been told off for gardening in the pouring rain but if you're happy doing something the silly weather doesn't stop you thank goodness for that.Hel.xxx.
