My new planting hole!

You might just have to delay that job for a while , what a shame it,s going to be so muddy and take a while to recover ..........

Maybe Willow might fit the bill, you have certainly got your work cut out keeping watch on that!

Well, first the ground froze, then the snow came and now the rain, so it's just as well I couldn't to get to the GC to buy the shrubs isn't it!

Poor you Spritz, and there is me moaning coz my latest project has been rained/snowed/frosted off. and yes just as well its not good money down the drain too, everything for a reason.

Never mind Spritz......good intentions and all that................

I sympathise Spritz but hopefully it has all subsided now. At least the stream is well away from your house, much like ours - I feel sorry for those poor people in Gloucestershire who are suffering yet again this week.

So do I, Dawn. All we have to show for it now is a very squelchy planting hole and silt all over the lowest lawn.

I know exactly what you mean. We find though that when it happens in the summer after a freak storm, the grass is left a bit discoloured but after a mow it is back to normal. Behind us, a number of years ago, the brook was put through a culvert so 2 fields could be made into one by the farmer and the culvert just cannot handle the volume of water so it breeches it and cuts across part of our garden, very frustrating.
