Listening to it yesterday afternoon made me wonder when it is recorded.
One of the topical tips was if your runner beans are straggly (mine are)
then water them well! Is there anywhere in the UK that do not have well
watered runner beans?

Not really but a couple of tenants on our field were watering last week....
we had a few decent days but I didn't think it merited a watering

I listened to the whole programme in amazement because of its lack of
topicality. They were even basking in sunshine at Sparsholt!

In my opinion (no one takes any notice mind) the BBC has lost its way. A
large number of its programmes are made by private companies, big
mistake. Whether it is un-topicality of Gardeners Question time or
spinning the Queen!

Some parts of GQT are topical. I have been involved with GQT recordings
which were broadcast three days later. As for the weather, let's not
forget that a) there have been one or two nice days in the
south/midlands in the last couple of weeks; and b) the torrential rain
hasn't fallen across the whole country: I have friends in Scotland, the
North-East and the South-East coast who claim to have had relatively
little rainfall.

Or could it be a strategic government secret plan to make sure there's
no mass
exodus of English people sick of the weather buying properties in the
South of France
and Africa in a relatively short time?! Can you trust those friends in
the North East
and South East?! Can you?! g

True, but Sparsholt is in Gloucestershire.

Gloucestershire has been a trifle damp of late.

We had a few nice sunny days on the trot last week in spite of severe
weather warnings and the rain elsewhere on Friday. Made up for it since the
weekend though

I wish we'd have nice and sunny days on the trot. Haven't had any since
April.

My sympathies lie with the farmers :-(

This is my best year for a long time for no hayfever,
if this wet is a result of global whatsit, then bring it on !

But a few days of sunshine from time to time would be nice !

Oh, they'll soon make a financial recovery if, as has been suggested,
they treble the acreage of rape, from which to produce biofuel.

They won't be too worried about all the poor sods (myself included)

So, why should I feel sorry for them now...?

My point!!

Do you know a 'poor' farmer?

They will just have to keep their Land Rover for two years instead of
changing it each year :-((

And possibly cut down on their cruising a bit :-((

(We had farmers on our table on the World Cruise. 'Frequent cruisers' they
were)

I have no sympathy for the farmers at all. They have cried Wolf too long. If
farming was as bad as the say, they would get out. "If you don't like the

Well, Perth is half-way between the North-East and the South-East,
and we've certainly had plenty of rain here! Every bloody day...!

I meant the North-East and South-East of England.
