The rain has stopped, but judging by the clouds, more will come later.

It's raining again. I can hear it coming down the chimney - it's a very comforting sound, since I am curled up in bed

A good drop of rain for about 10 hours overnight Sat/Sun - was working outside in the morning but didn't mind getting wet, it was just nice to be wet for a change.

Lovely rain and very warm air is bringing on the PSB and black kale plantlets here wonderfully.

Could do without the slugs but doing regular patrols which seems to be working.

Also spotted the first cabbage white's so will have to get Elf cat on catching duty soon.

For the first time I've got parsley to germinate really well and have five patches coming along nicely, along with a couple of coriander.

Bah, still nowhere near enough here. A few showers at the weekend just about half-filled my empty water butt and barely penetrated the surface of the ground

My grass appears to have shot up several inches over the weekend too - the sheep are very happy.

Loads of rain here, ongoing; ground thoroughly soaked. No need to water anything. More worried about the soil surface compacting in the downpours and preventing the seeds from germinating.

Actually had about twelve hours of soft persistent rain last night/this morning. Hopefully the veg will take off a bit now.
