I'll have webbed feet soon
If it doesn't stop raining in Leics. Throwing down all day again, had a
bit of a break for an hour or so, and back to it. Will it ever stop? I seem to remember that when you were all worrying about drought in the UK, I said it would sort itself out. It has, just like I knew it would ;-) Maybe not quite like we wanted exactly. |

The length of time it has been raining virtually every day for months on end is unbelievable. Long-term records have been broken. I am strongly tempted to think it is due to global warming causing weather extremes. How else can you account for it? Anyway, it makes gardening very difficult that is for sure and food producers must be going frantic. Doug. |

Had secretary of local allotment society call to collect an item I was giving away and his comments were, "you've got a better crop than most on the allotments".

Reminds me so much when, in the late 70s, the minister of draught was transferred to the job of floods, nothing changes, why can't politicians keep their noses out of common folks lives? -- Residing on low ground in North Staffordshire |

Then we'd be at the mercy of people who think droughts are currents of air. Regrettably, given the current political situation, I am afraid that we are - though at least they are no longer being told what to think by Murdoch :-( Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Prior to that they were growing better then I've ever seen with very thick strong hulms which is always a good sign and the earlies have been fantastic croppers. Strange thing is not everyone on the allotments is affected, probably 50% so far. The two ladies from Madeira who grow a high percentage of potatoes don't seem affected at all, I'm wondering what variety they both grow, they have both told me they mostly grow stuff from their homeland. -- Regards.

Yes we are having global warming, where I differ is that I am by no means convinced it is due to our actions. After all the planet has warmed up (and cooled down) on previous occasions, even as short a time ago as the Roman dominations the planet was warmer than now. And not as long as that people regularly skated on the Thames. How do you explain that Mars has warmed up in recent years, now if it had been the moon we could blame the Americans! ;-O -- Residing on low ground in North Staffordshire |

Went down the plot yesterday to cut off and remove the last of the potato hulms due to blight and after the rain went over yet again there was standing water either side of the humps. Looked weird with strips of water between the humps. Whilst we garden on Thames silt/clay it's never been so wet and sticky as it is now, I think it's going to take a while to get back into a decent tilth once this stops. At least the carrots look good in their old water tank and the 2nd lot of parsnips we sowed have finally started to germinate so we will get a few after all. -- Regards. Bob Hobden.

I still have standing water on a quarter of the plot Toms and runners rotting. Like you, sticky clay soil at the bottom of a hill. Another deluge forecast for this afternoon.
