Last night's storm

[minskey]

Hi Grapes,

Did anyone get that storm last night; about 3am I was woken up by torrential rain landing at a 45 degree angle driven by storm force gust of wind. it was all over in half an hour. Loads of stuff blown around and over in the garden, chooks house was fine.

we are going through it now - I was just in the greenhouse and thought better of it, I'm sure the GN is going to take off any minute - and it is concreted in

We've had strong winds since yesterday and it rained heavily about 30mins ago but its glorious sunshine now!?!

last night was wild, high winds, terrible rain, this morning we had rain, hail, winds and now its eerily quiet with blue skies moving in one side, dark clouds the other

we've had a monsoon since about 3am but the suns out now and little white wispy clouds, annoying though as the grounds too wet to rotavate and i wanna get it finished

[ardroil]

high wind here since last night, one minute the sun is out the next its snowing heavily
now its raining, and i cant find my mini greenhouse in the garden, its gone!!!!
so i took the beetroot that was in it into the kitchen till this nutty weather stops,
hope no one else looses anything.

We had a glorious morning but now its clouded over and windy. Due for rain I think. Two hours ago I was sat on the grass in bright sunshine sifting compost in a t-shirt.

I was worried about my new plastic greenhouse last night, but got up this morning to find everything was OK, just 1 pot with a garlic clove in it had fallen down. Phew

Surely T shirts aren't much use for sifting compost? You ought to use a proper sieve! (sorry, couldn't resist it)

We had torrential rain in the early hours. Bright sunshine all morning, then it waited for me to get halfway through dismantling the electric fence, to move the chooks and a very cold monsoon started - Must have been a funny sight; 16 chickens and me all running for the shelter of the coop!

Still drizzling now, so the lovely dry laundry that I was too lazy to get in off the line at lunch time is now wetter than when I put it out

we had it about 2pm today. I was up allotment with no shelter nice neighbour took pity on me and invited me into their shed

[minskey]

Ive been in the garden all morning - dug up some more tuirf and prepared a seed bed. After sowing some carrots the bright blue sky became gray in a few minutes. I've come indoors and the hail and rain has just started!!

Will my carrots be ok? i have put a poly tunnel over them...
