    We're still waiting for proper rain but I won't hold my breathe. It's warm and sticky out there already. :phew: I've done my gardening for the day and shall hide indoors.

        15c sunny with some cloud

        Wheat/Barley being flaten by rain, if it's all been flaten one way and leaning agaist the next plant it will harvest with no problem, but with the combine you may have to harvest from one side of field ie left to right or v/v as it flaten you could cut the heads off the plant when being flat and they drop to the ground which will be your biggest loss so you will have to think hard in which way you combine the field, but when you combine the field do it on a sunny day as the wheat/barley will lift up a bit with the warmth, but if you still get bad weather then it will become harder & harder to combine, store it will be ok if it's dry (15%) but the Quality will be less, if still bad weather it will then get worse and worse, but if good weather it should be ok with sun and wind going between the heads of wheat/Barley

                  They've been saying we're going to have torrential downpours and thunder storms since last week but we haven't had them. They're wrong most of the time actually so I'll believe it when I see it.

                      I was looking at the SEPA rainfall data and non of the stations near me were accurate for the rainfall we had, just goes to show how localised some of these storms are. We had about 30mm more rain at the wekend than any of the data points showed, which is a fair amount

                            Just come in for a cold drink:ccheers:, its 29c on my thermometer, with very little wind, burp.

                            Be interested to know how far away they are from combining down in rural south of France?
                            I dont think much starts happening around here until August at the earliest.

                                Thankfully only went to 31c and it was pleasant sitting out with the nice breeze for a couple of hours, now 29c and still breezy.
