The Dogmother Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 It's 11deg here and the cloud has lifted slightly, just so depressing with all that cloud and drizzle earlier. According to the BBc forecast, we're due rain all week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I think it's rained every day here for the past two weeks. My outdoor tomatoes are a ruined, mouldy, soggy mess The last sparrow baby in the nest has died I'm just going to clear the nest out and spray it with poultry shield.

Valkyrie Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Heavy rain at 5 this morning - eased off and I saw blue sky (only just) then it started again when I let the birds out. We have had a bit of sun, more rain, and now the sun is trying very hard to break through again. Mostly shades of grey up there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I have a jumper on too We have most of the new WIR covered with corrugated plastic sheeting but where the water is running off there are puddles. We have also put another shorter sheet back on the Eglu run because of the forecast. Went to the allotment yesterday to get enough veg for the next few days, because this rain was on it's way.
