Yes rained all night here as well Ladybug, I`ve been carrying rinsing water out to my lawn for weeks now, it helps a bit, I `m also only cutting on a 2week basis, I strim the edges and around the trees and leave the rest.
Rogi thanks for reminding me, I have a lot of bare patches on my bottom lawn where I`ve cleared out the moss, too dry to even attemp reseeding so leaving the graasbox off might help down there......

I think we're all breathing a sigh of relief now.....except poor Rogi that is! Hope you get some soon Rogi. Did some planting today and the soil was wet through - perfect. Haven't mowed for weeks but I'm sure that's about to change :o)

We've had some showers here and that's enough now. I enjoy rain but I don't want another wet summer.

Have only cut the lawn twice since autumn - bit straggly but the growth has been so little because of the dryness.

Still no rain here although it had been forecast for the whole of the day ...
