Do I live in a micro climate?

well the latest medium range forecasts points to the potential for warm and humid weather.. a far cry from recent, and potentially excellent growing weather.

 

Yay, we're forecast heavy rain this evening (which has just started by the look of it)

We had a piddly pathetic amount yesterday which was nowhere near enough for my plants so this is very welcome (although I reserve the right to complain about the rain again if it carries on for more than a few days)

 

Yes, and I can also remember all the moaning about wanting rain earlier in the spring before the summer deluge started.

 

Whilst on the subject I think it is next month that in Salford, will be "unveiled" an eco building which the claim it will only need 10 days maintenance a year (!!!quite unbelievable). Apparently it is based on the African model meaning growing one produce on top of the other.

 

Lots of rain in Salford/Manchester area.

 

We've now had some decent rainfall over the last 2 days but also some nasty gusty wind, I didn't order that! Lets see if this encourages some of the seeds I scattered to germinate.

 

It chucked down here today while I was at work, much to my delight. It absolutely hammered it down. It was rumbling and everything. Then it was dry and warm again by the time I set off home. Brilliant.

 

it rained heavily yesterday & is raining lightly on & off here today, glad everythings had a good soaking though...you can almost hear the garden giving a big sigh of relief

 

Okay okay, enough rain now. Someone please turn the taps off and the sun back on

 

it was glorious again today after a couple of rainy days

Oh Sunshine, i know i slag you off a bit when you get too much for me but i don't half miss you when your gone

 

Excellent. I hope it went well for them. A friend of ours had her engagement do in her dad's garden, which was the garden of the house she grew up in, and it meant the world to her.
