I hope it drains as fast as it came.

the river at the back of our allotment flooded our gardens with five foot of water I managed to save 25 chickens and two cocks just in time before a wave took all the fences down and took me with it' trying to swim with wellies on  is not a good idea.
I got out ok allthough I was soaked so I walked up the road to the local pub and sank a few pints before I went home for a hot bath.

Oh my goodness! Glad you are ok and like you say I hope it drains quickly for you too.

[allotmentann]

Oh no! Glad you managed to rescue the chicks. (You can't see any weeds!). I feel so sorry for those whose plots flood. The weather is hard enough to deal with, without the flooding. I do hope that you don't lose too many crops.

I know runners like a lot of water, but that is ridiculous...Hope it goes away soon and next year is better. Best wishes.

[allotment-bill]

got up plots in nice sunshine and got on with some weeding and planting some more cabbages ,glad i did as black clouds came over so quick and now its thunder and lighting and the heaviest down pours Ive seen so far here  not good 

ps glad you managed to rescue your chickens .

Barnsley Bill hope everything works out for you.       I thought my plot was wet until I saw yours!    This the worse "summer"  I can remember, never seen so much rain

Joined the sad relay of wheelbarrows taking potato tops to the tip area. 

But looking at these phot0s, I can't complain! 

[Barnsley-Bill]

all the water left the following day and left this mess hopefully I can salvage some things.

One bed got weeded and forked over, weeded  round the sweetcorn 

Picked peas

Came out to find a slug had eaten the searching leaf of the plant,anyone know what the result of this will be.Very annoying ,slugs just love my runner beans

[carlrmj]

Hope you get sorted soon Barnsley Bill,it makes sorting out all the weeds I've got  pale into

insignificance.

Anyway did loads of weeding and potted on 90 runners from the strawberry plants

cheers Carl
