There's this funny wet stuff falling from the sky here in sunny South
Wales. Not white like wot they had in Scotland but still wet. I can
almost see the plants stretching out to catch some.

Getting heavier as I type.

Luvvvly!

Oh well, that was a hopeful 8 minutes. Now not a decent rain cloud in
sight! But we live in hope.

That is Gods way of punnishment for you being a Taffy!

It has been spitting with rain here for at least 24hrs, no "real" rain,
just enough to get every bricklayer/roofer/carpenter p**sing wet through
after an hour or so. The boss sent our(on the books) workers home.

I am guessing that this rain did not fill our/your reservoirs!

Yeah! Decided it wasn't going to rain so went out to water things.
Sudden downpour which lasted precisely long enough for me to wind the
hose up again and get indoors soaking wet. Then it stopped raining so
I went back out and finished the watering (still soaking wet). Now
it's a "will it or won't it" time.

Our reservoirs are all decently full and we have no immediate prospect
of hosepipe bans etc., though we will continue to sympathise with our
more unfortunate English neighbours.

Actually today's been the first day this year that I've used the
hosepipe for watering and that was simply because it's time to start
feeding and it's a lot easier with the hose-end feeder than mixing the
feed up by the can-full. And before you ask, I can never leave the
hose lying around unwound when it rains because if I did the cat would
chew a hole in it in no time!

I gave Him upstairs a quick call and He said sorry for not giving me
the rain I'd hoped for but it was a case of the greatest need.
Something about the smell emanating from England because the people
there hadn't had a shower in ages. (Sorry, couldn't resist).

I love it, Baz, when all I can see above your message is "[QUOTED
TEXT]".

Anyhow, I put some granular feed on the lawns a couple of days ago to
try and perk them up. That was on the basis of a forecast spell of
heavy rain today which hasn't happened. Should have used liquid feed
as I usually do. So its out with the lawn sprinkler if I can find it.
I know I had one a few years ago .....

Not much made it here, just a bit at lunchtime, enough to wet the
washing! A bit more later, but the ground is still very very dry!

Mind you the forecast is for drizzle at 1am, sleet at 4am and heavy snow
at 7am -- or it was at 5pm when I looked then at the Met Office site
for Brecon, now it is cloudy at 1am, sleet at 4am and light snow at 7am!

Temperatures drop to 1 and only rise to 3 during the day, so tender
plants could suffer!

Do they really know what is going to happen!

Next time could you tell Him upstairs not to mix hailstones in with the

Jake, I don't understand what you mean.
Is it the way I post? a newsreader problem?

I usually snip out any other items within a reply.

Baz

BTW have you had that plum tree delivered yet?

Sorry, Baz. You were replying to a post by the nameless one but I've
now got my newsreader configured so that whilst I can read your reply
to him, his bit is replaced with "[QUOTED TEXT]" and I don't have to
read that.

The plum tree is planted and leaf buds are already starting to open.
It's about 5 feet tall (I wanted a dwarf) but time will tell how big
it grows. Now I have to learn something about plum trees. I've read
somewhere that we shouldn't allow fruit to develop in the first year
after planting. With apples and pears, they've never fruited in the
first year so nowt to worry about and in the second year they tend to
self-drop down to a level of fruit which the tree can sustain. So I'm
guessing that plums behave differently. But do I yank off any flower
buds or is it remove flowers as they open or do I allow the flowers to
do their bit and then remove them as they fade?
