V. windy and started raining again 5 minutes after getting back with the dog this morning - may have to start hydroponic gardening if it dont let up.

So as with everbody else this bank holiday.... its lashing down, started yesterday evening.

Filling water butts up nicely. watering in bedding plants and veg.

Bit nippy though.

Nicely watering in all the bedding plants.

Bit chilly on morning run: woolly sleeved top plus tracksuit top plus hat: did not need to remove any and hands still cold at end of it..

Brrrrrrr

Slightly blustery, plenty of rain showers and the temp is only just into double figures.

seasprout · #**111** (**permalink**) 28-05-2007, 03:52 PM

The continuous rain has now become patchy rain, my rain measure pot is reading just under an inch for the last 2 days so far.

Wind has calmed down now after most of my Delphiniums have been smashed down.

Very cold now.
Found a dead frog on my path, looked fine except being dead... can frogs die of cold..?

Madasafish · #**112** (**permalink**) 28-05-2007, 04:16 PM

colder than yesterday. Cut hedges am whilst dry (ish): beech and box. Had to finish box by hand and do all beech by hand as rechargeable cutter ran out... and I knew it would rain this pm.. which it duly has.

Temperature this morning around 8C and double figures look unlikely.
Fortunatley brooding quails in garage are now nearly 4 weeks old and have lots of feathers and incubating eggs will not notice (but are due to hatch tomorrow).
My incubator is self built: last week I had to switch power down (dimmer switch) to setting 1 (home made markings).. yesterday and today it's on setting 8. No need to worry about humidity tho .. 72% and condensation on perspex viewing window.

Central heating on this pm:-(

seasprout · #**117** (**permalink**) 30-05-2007, 05:28 PM

Got down to 2C in leicester last night, very cold. :-(

Rain in the morning, rain at lunchtime and rain all afternoon. With some mist.

I'm fedup. I booked the week off work to do some runnning about and stuff for myself. All i've done is got wet.

seasprout · #**118** (**permalink**) 30-05-2007, 05:29 PM

And now my Smilies have given up. :-(

TEB · #**119** (**permalink**) 30-05-2007, 05:47 PM

Was drizzling at 06.00 whilst walking the dog - stopped as soon as I got back, chucked it down an hour ago and it now bright and lovely - temp in greenhouse just got to 20c, has been cold though, have had to microwave my socks a few times as got no heating in the office

pigletwillie · #**120** (**permalink**) 31-05-2007, 02:51 PM

sunny periods with plenty of showers today.

Bex · #**121** (**permalink**) 31-05-2007, 08:20 PM

Big storm here this afternoon, and judging by the sky at the moment another one is on its way.

pigletwillie · #**122** (**permalink**) 31-05-2007, 08:55 PM

Mmmmm,

Wasn't it just! Thunder and lightning and huge raindrops! Just come back from the Hill where the earth has been splashed well up the broad beans. Gorgeous now, though.

Bex · #**124** (**permalink**) 31-05-2007, 08:57 PM

Startled lashing it down again, the allotment is water logged at the mo. The rain is bouncing off the floor and its going to thunder any minute.

TEB · #**125** (**permalink**) 31-05-2007, 09:28 PM

A Sunny rain day - beautiful now though

pigletwillie · #**126** (**permalink**) 01-06-2007, 05:17 PM

A very warm sunny day, just starting to cool off now.

seasprout · #**127** (**permalink**) 02-06-2007, 03:48 PM

Lovely sunny, but humid day.

Patchy cloud appearing. But very nice.

pigletwillie · #**128** (**permalink**) 03-06-2007, 10:00 AM

The sun is out and were off to Barnsdale, It will supposedly get a bit patchy with cloud later.

pigletwillie · #**129** (**permalink**) 04-06-2007, 09:18 AM

Change the a bit patchy with cloud later to a torrential downpour.

Overcast this am.

seasprout · #**130** (**permalink**) 07-06-2007, 07:26 PM

Been cool and cloudy for a couple of days, slight sunny spells. But dry.
Forcast is for a warm sunny humid weekend.

So its going to rain then.
