I had occasion to dig down two feet and the soil is absolutely bone dry
despite all the rain we had

We have had only a little bit of rain for the last 2 weeks but after the wettest winter for decades the fields and peat bogs are still flooded. The dry weather returned just in time for lambing...to nature has finally be kind to us up here. My friend in Surrey was power washing her patio down before the next hose pipe ban comes in.......Due to go down Surrey in a few weeks for a long weekend to visit friends and family so don't worry I expect I will bring some rain with me!

I now keep a large bucket in the corner of my kitchen into which I empty any water, tea or coffee that would normally go down the sink, and tip it on the garden. It's amazing how much water we throw casually away.

Forecast is set to stay fine, dry + warm for rest of the week, at least in the south, according to the Countryfile forecast. Later in the week some south-easterlies, so that should see the migrants heaving in (hopefully)!

I'm with you here badgerwatch - black bucket at the ready. Today has been a treat for the raised beds and patio plantings (containers get dunked).

This lack of rain is rather worrying though - although anyone who enjoys warm, dry weather is probably very happy. Fingers crossed we get some showers next week.

What a shame we are never content with our lot. Definate signs of rain on the way here in Lincs...
