Rain

we had a wonderful down poor here in the midlands. but as now dried up lol. mind u the sun isn't shinning , so called rain somemore.

There comes a time in ones life, when your loving the rain.

 

Been raining all evening here, cancelled fishing trip, decided to get on with restoration of pill box instead, just come in to avoid slugs.

Bowser is nearly full, must be about 2/3 tonnes of water in it now

It was empty a few days ago.

 

Well after raining all morning it was very very warm and dry this afternoon, but it is now raining steadily again....

There's one thing I haven't missed though whilst we've had no rain - slugs and snails, the little devils are out in force again now; it's like a gathering of the troops; a full on assault on anything green lol...

I've hopefully got the veg patch protected though......

 

It's nice and wet out there now. My barrels are 2/3 to 3/4 full!!! A frog decided to come inside and check out my kitchen and I had to chase him around a bit before I could grab him and take him out to the pond where he would be safe from my frog hunting git of a cat Monster. Hopefully it will finish filling my barrels today!

 

Rain at last in Northampton ,, Heavy during the night .Checking out the allotment later ..

At Last !!!!

Yes it's persistantly pouring here in Anlaby,East Yorks and i couldn't be more chuffed..I've been sat here since 6am planning all i'm going to do in the garden today.The ground is slowly softening up so i can at last get on with some proper gardening...Can't remember the last time i was so excited to see rain !!!

 

me too - well not quite six am - i got up at seven and yes cant wait to dig some soft soil!

5:30 for me. The rain kept waking me up. Now I`m to tied to do anything..

 

Bonkers or what?

We were having proper rain here at 1 a.m. last night. I was so thrilled I went out and started emptying the water butt, full at last, onto the driest bits of the garden as it would otherwise go to overflow and it seemed too precious to waste. I knew the downpour would easily refill it again,and it did.

Hope the neighbours weren't watching.

Then the delightful sound of a persistent downpour lulled me to sleep!

 

We had some showery rain in the night,but the sun has dried it ALL up now.......It has bought the snails out though and the frogs...

 

Still waiting. :fingerdrum:
It did briefly cloud over for a while this morning, I felt about three spots of rain, then the cloud cleared again. Oh, whoop de doo!!
Have to agree with Bilbo though, noticable lack of slug and snail activity so far.

 

Rained all day today so far.

Yesterday 1 very heavy shower.

Like someone has said before.
Grass looking great, flowers appearing in the garden.
Fruit plants looking REALLY good.

 

Must admit it is nice to see a bit of rain,

just wish it would do it during the night :WINK1:

and leave us with beautiful sunshine through the day.
