Garden And Gossip Forums

A rain storm yesterday afternoon, then today it’s been fine even though two weather sites had predicted more rain.

We’ve had 3 nights of 10c in my GH.

Non-stop rain today, almost!. There was a dry spell so I went to the end of the garden to prepare some spare for the Brussels sprouts ......then the rain returned. I was soaked

It’s like April showers. Really viscous ones! Wind is picking up now as well. When the sun does shine, it’s very warm. Almost like a summer!

^^^ at least you achieved something. Our rain didn't stop until 6ish and when I did go up the garden my two rows of CFB were in the process of falling over. The rain has softened the ground and the wind, which is due to worsen tomorrow, has done its worse. Not a lot of use reinstating the canes as they'll only get blown down tomorrow.

It rained heavy all day yesterday so no gardening at all, its just started raining here again and is here for the day according to the Metoffice.
My water butts are full

Sun is out at the moment but quite windy.

We've already had a massive shower but the sun is out ATM winds are due to increase early afternoon. It's pretty blowy now, I don't want it any windier.

Same here. Black clouds coming closer.

........and the black clouds arrived and emptied themselves. The big water butt couldn't cope and water was gushing out of the overflow, instead of down the connecting pipe into the next butt which was clogged by tiny seeds. It isn't now!!
Still raining, windy and thunder rumbling.

I'm no longer saving run off water from the hot tap, it really pains me seeing good water go down the plughole but I've nowhere to put it.
