Worrying Weather

Up here in Cheshire we have had rain nearly every day for two weeks, from memory the very same conditions last year brought Potato blight to our area and most plotters on our site fell victim to it.

Please Mr Weather person can we have some dry sunny days for a while :sunny:

On Tuesday the ground was like concrete and even with DH full weight of 18 stone on the fork we couldn't get at our earlies so have had to buy some! It has rained nearly continuously since then so perhaps we can get at them now.

Well I'm in Herts, and the top 8" of so called soil on the plot is DUST :evil: ... today is the first real rain we have seen for quite some time ... I gave up sowing seeds about a month ago :cry:

Jeez, Derbyshire is wet wet wet... a few weeks ago I said "we need some rain" and now, despite saying, "OK enough"... it just won't stop!

We've got just enough here to not have to water but not too much to make it a problem. :roll:

I'll fetch me coat
