Hi,

Wish it was the same here! I watered on area, had another look, the soil was dry again. So I watered it again and after that I told myself NOT TO LOOK AT THE SAME PATCH AGAIN as it would be dry AGAIN!

Given our rainfall alp I would expect our garden to be soaking wet to a good depth but due to the steepness of the garden most of the rain simply runs away as surface water; I've been digging and it's surprising how dry the ground is just under the surface.

Frost here for a change but then the BBC weather lot have been forecasting frost so were sure to eventually get it right. It's bordering on freezing at the moment but will hit 3C later; I hope to do more digging but the way the temperature is dropping I might need to use my big SDS drill in chisel mode rather than my spade. :D

Kind regards, Colin.

I only ventured out to drape the plastic sheet over the amistads and fashion something over my iris buds..

It snowed feathers for 1 minute and that's it.
