Not much I can do today

CLEVER!! YOU MADE ME LOUGH. HERE IN LONDON I NEED PLANTING FIG TREES PROBABLY. LET US HOPE FOR SOME RAIN TODAY.

Overhere, I am very excited and thrilled to see the rain again after months of waiting, grass is all brown, at long last they are getting a good soaking, may it rain for the whole day, I am about to put my rainmac on and have a good walk about in the rain :))))) blissssss :))))

lovely picture ~ i like the idea of rice planting

rice pudding ~ grown in my own pond??!!

I am in agreement Michaella, its rained all day so far, I can hear it dripping into my waterbutts( hooray).
That is a very good photograph Cliveanne.......

Oh I'm fed up with rain aswell. It's nice in winter because it keeps the frost away but this time of year I want some warm sunshine.

Thank you for your comments folks. I did go for a 2hr saunter in the rain after my Tai Chi session, just me, the rabbits, squirrels, the birds in the trees, not to forget the wild flowers & a lot of overgrown pathways in the woods, fields, & a long ago abandoned railway track. The planting of rice has just reminded me. A few weeks ago I had some watercress left over in the bag (I get through a lot of salad this time of the year) My Good Lady wanted to throw it away, I told her I would do it for her, it is now growing in the stream & doing quite nicely thank you. Not big enough for the plate, but in time perhaps, meanwhile it adds a bit of colour.

thats brilliant! hope it continues to grow. i have grown the herbs from the supermarket pots successfully and i now have hundreds of little papaya seedlings growing from the fruit i bought and ate a few weeks ago.

I remember going with my gran to collect water cress from a spring and making sandwiches from it :)

i used to live near hertford when i was little and the 'meads' were just across the road ~ growing watercress but not commercially ~ i think?? i expect it is all built on now!

That's how it goes ST :(
