    April showers bring May flowers, all I got was thunder and lightning. Such a contrast from yesterday.

    Morning Everyone,

    A night of really heavy rain and more ditches flooding.  Very dark, grey and rainy here all monring so far. It's supposed to brighten up later, apparently.

    Flood warnings in East Dorset again. Dogs have to paddle through puddles on the field where we walk.

    At least I didn't have to water in yesterday's plantings-on the downside my tarpaulin has not appeared today so can't complete the chicken pen project

    This isn't good enough - don't they know your chickens are in danger of developing trench foot!

    It was dispatched yesterday from Wales by first class post so there I was watching for Postman Pat-daren't go out in case it would not go in the letter box-and he walked straight past-nuffinkimage

    Wet chickens are very difficult to roast.

    Lettuce, psb, kohlrabi, leeks all sunbathing. Cloches off dwarf french beans, for the first time since planting out. Washing on the line. Sowed carrots in guttering, magentaspreen in modules. Off to do forget-me-not cull.

    A Rant

    On the ITV news last night the lead story was all about floods and reporters standing in water-AGAIN!!

    Just so they could drone about the irony of a hose-pipe ban in a flood area and how a wet April will not make up for 2 dry winters etc. etc.

    I think by now we all know this stuff-image

    End of rant-thankyou.

    Poor Geoff and his chickens! Am crossing fingers for their comfort and safety asap.

    Poured all night but bright and dare I say sunny today. Been digging over the Full Sun border this morning, its a quagmire and will need several digs to get all the raspberry roots out the ground, but keeps me out of troubleimage
