I'm good, but even I can't manage to send you some rain, as you haven't put your location in your profile. :)

If you put your location in I shall do my best to get some rain sent to you immediately ;)

We havn't had any rain for well over 2 weeks here in Hull and the little we did get dried up within a couple of hours.

I planted my fruit trees at the weekend and the ground was only just damp 18" down, we really need a good few days worth of rain here to sort things out.

It's been raining on and off all morning here too.

As I was walking along the plot spreading organic slug pellets, I could hear the weed seeds crying out yippee, rain  :D
Cheers, Comfortably Numb.

I'm just off down the greenhouse. I won't be long ..........................

Hi all we have rain in Gt yarmouth at last.   Not a lot but it has been raining on and off since about 6 this morning. don't think it has done more than settle dust at mo but fingers crossed if it keeps up all day will do some good.  we have two allotment plots so really pleased as the time it takes to water stops other jobs getting done.  but as was comented earlier next time at lotty  it will be hoe hoe hoe!

It's bone dry here in Derbyshire gave the whole plot a soaking yesterday so only needed to water in the greenhouses today
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

"They said" it was going to rain a bit this morning. It didn't. "They say" we shall get hail showers late tomorrow - odds on that will be right.
