Hi, just joined the site from Co Dublin. Great to see the rain as it will save us the trouble of taking out the hose for a few days! Hoping my poppies survive the battering though. You're garden looks great.

Casandra it's raining quite heavy here in Edinburgh, although the wind hasn't let off all day. No hose or watering can for a few days, fingers crossed!!
Welcome to GOY Beaty, I have only been a member for a couple of weeks and am loving the site have learnt so much already. A great friendly group who seem to have an answer/thought on everything about the garden. My poppies haven't flowered yet so no problems there.

We have not had rain for over 11 weeks and none forecast.

We had rain (lots of it !) last night..first time since Feb !!!!

wonderful!!

...not enough though...irrigation ban imminent here....

So far this month we have had 9 really wet days. And the winds have varied from breezy, blustery right thru to the gusty stuff we got now. 45mph +, so far only damage is the OM's Laburnum is listing at an angle. the problem is I have a clematis and climbing rose at the base. But I'm getting fed up with the wind, I spose the wet days are to be thankful for. But I must admit, I can do wothout them.

We had rain last night too, the first for three months +, boy was it welcome.

Still no rain here just windy.
