    YEEESSSSSS, we had some proper rain!

    It's not forecast to last long but after less than 5mm, yes 5mm, over the last 3 months, I'll happily take all I can get.

    Heavy showers throughout the day helped by the fact I gave the garden a good soaking last night so most of the rainfall has gone where needed, to the plants!

    I'm happy and my plants are happy, enough said :D

    .

    Gloucester had heavy rain, sunny Quedgeley no!

    The soil in my plot is dust!

    Blooming very strong winds though, which I hate!

    Cheers!

    Nothing more than passing, but heavy showers here in Derbyshire; they've had little effect on the bone dry soil though. The sun when it was out was very warm; I too though am getting fed up with these winds....:wallbang:
