Fragile Do Not Bend Aug 2022 4:26pm, 17 Aug 2022 10,066 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend Yay some proper rain at last! I must have looked a bit of a nutcase going out in the pouring rain to position trugs and things under where the rain was coming off the greenhouse and shed roofs

Hanneke Aug 2022 8:38pm, 17 Aug 2022 91,978 posts	0 Hanneke FDNB I have all my flexitubs out to catch that little bit of extra rain, by the pond. Never taking a single drop for granted! And still catching rinsung watwr, handeashibg water etc in a washing up bowl to put on the garden. It may look wet, it actually isn't!!!

Flatlander Aug 2022 11:49am, 18 Aug 2022 2,566 posts	0 Flatlander Still no rain here! According to the weather radar maps of where the rain has been, I am supposed to have been underneath some rain, although the weather forecasters have been saying the rain is "hit and miss" - so far it has been all "miss". Could those who DO have rain please push some of it my way?
Columba Aug 2022 12:27pm, 18 Aug 2022 21,879 posts	0 Columba Sorry, Flatlander, I want it all. Rained most of yesterday, - gentle rain, not the sort that washes everything away.
Velociraptor Aug 2022 1:43pm, 18 Aug 2022 59,371 posts	0 Velociraptor Clever gardening people, can any of you identify this thing that has appeared in my garden in the past day or two? It's on bark chippings that we put down a couple of months ago. The crust is fragile and underneath is yellow custardy stuff. I would be delighted if I'd grown a lemon meringue pie.
