      My garden is looking a bit battered, but I think everything has pretty much survived.
      If it comes from a plant, eat it. If it was made in a plant, don't!!

        I hope it does not continue for 3 more weeks. I was hoping for another 1976.........

          Saves me watering my garden/veg, easy peasy lemon squeezy!

          And as Peas'n'Kews said, it's fab for filling up your water butt after the recent hot spell depleted the water supply.

          Oh & ducks aren't complaining :P

          Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.

              Born in Nottingham, and still here

              Not that bad? It's horrible weather, I think I'd just like those endless summers I remember as a child, and proper seasons like they used to be, I think you just notice the weather a lot more when you start gardening

                  I really need a spot of summer now - I am beginning to grow webbed toes.

                        Could do with a bit of monsoon here - almost no rain for the last month and the heatwaves at the start and end of May have left everything very dry with recent wildfires in Sutherland and Lewis.

                        Luckily tourist season is in full swing, which should guarantee a few weeks of solid rain

                              Monsoon ? You wanna get your knees brown, get out East Mr lah-di-dah gunner Graham!

                              You may not believe this but at R.A.F. Tengah Singapore, an order came out that officers could use 'self erecting' black cloth brollies, snecos could use the 'manual' black cloth jobs, but the erks had to make do with the brown paper and fish glue jobs! (ribs painted green). Cheers, Tony.
