    :rolleyes:I know, what to do, what to do:D It must be all the good people here that makes me stay:thumb:

    It is doing the plants good in a way but it makes the grass grow too quickly & it doesn't have time to dry out for cutting. Plus the more fragile plants are getting a real bashing.

    i think it's only fair that you should send some sun here, at least then you wouldn't have to water so often so that would help the eco, green thingamy wouldn't it:rolleyes::D

    cheers

    Complete washout all day long, rained constantly not even five blinking minutes. I am stuck in with my family, the kids are on their summer hols from today-it damn well better get drier or I`ll be on the evening news-"Local Nutter uses kids as organic fertiliser"

    Morning Woo, Walnut and all,
    Yesterday was mild and dry but no sun (well, not a lot) as I told it to visit you lot up north. I think it got lost on the way :D.

    Mild, dull and dry so far today but they have forecast some rain for us :thumb: :).

    It's dry but overcast here, forcast is for showers so the lawn will have to wait yet again :mad: I'll eventually get it cut.

    Just had a 5 minute downpour :mad: and the rain suddenly started coming into the house, had to rush and get some buckets as it was right next to me on the computer! :eek: then dash up the ladder in the rain to reconnect the down pipes as I can hear it coming into the garage (will look in there later when I've got me flippers on)

    I'm doing an extension and didn't have time to pull the sheets over the gaps in the roof last night, I was distracted about 6pm last night when I found blight in my greenhouse on my second batch of tomatoes (I lost my first batch to the contaminated manure) so had to strip off any leaves and destroy them :mad:

    Ah well things can only get better :rolleyes:
