I realise the west side of the country has already had plenty of rain,
That's one way of putting it. Yesterday I picked some peas which had
sprouted roots in the pods.
but
over here on the lump it seems to have missed us so far.
Send me a long enough hosepipe and I'll pipe you a supply.

Here overlooking Swansea Bay we have had almost 4 inches in the last 2
weeks, with the water running off the fields above me, the ground is at
capacity.
It's the worst year I have ever had for runner beans, 6 sowings and I
have just had 2 pickings, after this last lot of rain the ones I am
picking have shed almost every leaf, My last sowing which should now be
around 3 to 4ft tall still haven't started to climb, so I am going to
lift some of them and grow them on inside in the bags I used for potatoes.
Nothing to loose.
