April in June.

Adding this to GoYpedia Waterbutts...

Yes .. it has been a day of sunshine and showers ...
... well done on your water-carrying !

My waterbutts and spare bins are all full of rainwater ...

nice to have the rain because my gardens have been very thirsty in recent months ... :o)

PS Who left his toy on the garden path ? ;o)

Yes Terra, the toys are scattered all over house and garden..Have you seen my add on pic. I`m really chuffed..

Just seen the add-on pic.
Well photographed ! :o)

Do Red Kites eat chickens ? when I first saw it, it was very low over a neighbours garden, he has chickens and I`ve never seen it as low before....

Same weather here.

Quite a lot on internet about the diet of Kites etc.

... possibly the Kite was more interested in the Collared Dove than in the chickens, but Kites also eat a lot of carrion, rather than moving prey ...

sunshine and showers here on south coast... and very windy again......think we had our summer in April when it was lovely.... : O )

Similar sun & showers here ... I did manage to edge the lawn & mow the back part before the mower stopped working! OH now trying to sort out the problem ... hope it's just a fuse needing to be changed! Love the pic of the Red Kite ... but I do think your Collared Dove looks like he's on a stick ... lol! : o )))

LOL, Shirley I never took any notice before, it looks as though its up his gungha-poocha ,its a rather large beanstick showing, I have a few popped in amongst everything else.......

There's an expression I've not heard before ... but I get the meaning of it! Black as night down here now and it's only 5.30 ... : o ((

Great blog Lincs. Love your water butts. I really have to set some up here. Especially as we are going on water meters soon.
We are having much the same weather here. :o(

Looks like you've lots to keep you fit in your garden Lincs, love the valerian along your path. My butts are full but I don't need to use them as my garden has had more than enough rain now and so have I. I know we all longed for the rain to come but.....maybe just a few sunny days now?

Love the pic of the Kite very well captured. I must have known what was coming weather wise as last week we sorted out our water butts moving from patio to bottom of garden. We now have three 240Ltr and they are all full and overflowing could do with a 4th. Its put a bit of a damper on alterations we started by the patio steps, but hope to get finished some time next week.
That old whatnot or plant stand at the back of the greenhouse looks interesting.

Isn`t Goy clever!!!!!! Have any of you noticed that the GardenCentre pics at the side are all to do with waterbutts and accessories....

your well prepared for rainwater sue with all your water butts etc, garden looking great to and love your garden companians to, im waiting to get the back of my shed cleared so i can have a water butt there, on baz`s list ummm lol :o)

I`m lucky San, we have a trailer so I fill it up and then tell hubby there`s rubbish to go to the tip, if something is too heavy I leave space and tell him on the day that there is a little something to be added and I`m sorry but could n`t manage on my own, lol...

lovely blog - yes the months are all mixed up - April was like June and vice versa as you say - Jan was like March as I remember and MAy was like OCtober - and I am confusing things here :D We only have one water butt and already emptied it had a little rain but not much. Your pictures are lovely and you are working hard - know the felling I been doing same watering Gunnera and Camellias this method too :):):)

I`d get an overflow butt in line Paul if you have one, cos when it comes your way if its like ours you`ll sure need one...

I have a bucket that's it - need another one - would love one :):):):))
