    We had our rain for the garden yesterday so I've ordered a dry day for today. Unfortunately, it seems as though the post office delivers the weather because it is never here when you want it :).

    Kandy, we still have over a week to go to Open Day so I am expecting the weather to have improved by then. Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life :D

    Morning all these last few days have been cooler than last week of course we all knew that couldn't last :(

    Although we haven't had any rain for some while the breeze yesterday felt quite heavy almost like 'it' was going to rain and it was so cold too after Bob watered the garden last night we nearly put the heating on...... if it doesn't start getting really warm some time soon it will be out with the thermals for us!:D

    This morning looks the same as yesterday dry and a little on the cool side but at least it's not raining although saying that the garden is just crying out for a good down pour.Hel.xxx.

    Morning all, another dreary day by the look of it,:(. The air is quite damp, good for the plants i suppose but could do with a bit of sun too.

    Watered my pots yesterday, took 3 watering can fulls to do it all. Not bad for a small garden, eh. Just waiting for some growth & flowers!

    cheers

    Morning all!

    Rainy here today but only a light drizzle which is not enough
    for the garden. We need it to be a bit heavier for a little while
    and then the sun- well I can hope can't I? :D

    Morning Pal
    Yes as I said, raining here but only a light drizzle
    and as it is rainy I am surprised there are only 25 people on GC at the moment.
    Husband has been making himself useful with the vacuum cleaner :D

    Hope you are feeling better - any date for returning to work yet?

    Cold and miserable here and my son said someone used the F word this morning on the weather forecast, apparently a possibility over the weekend, so is this when the chickens come home to roost for daring to put some plants out too early? I always knew it was a risk.:( Oh well will just have to tuck them up with some fleece or something.
