I agree, lets hope for a better year to come, but Rain at night?
Last nights offering was only 1/3rd of an inch (on top of the 2.4 inches
we had over Xmas) just to keep the mud topped up.

A happy new year to you and to all gardeners.
Let's hope for more 'normal' seasons in 2014!

Yes, Happy New Year everyone. Lets hope for the same summer but a proper
spring and a touch less monsoon season.

Okay Mr Picky - rain at night in the hot summer we are going to have.
Ray left a double sized wheelbarrow outside and in two (separate) days
of rain it was full to the brim. I saw a photo of the river at Dawlish
today and it was nearly touching the arch of the bridge, only a couple
of feet off it, I'd think. We took the grandson and Oscar Underfoot
for a walk at Stitchwick on Dartmoor yesterday and have never seen so
much standing water there. You could see that, in places, the Dart had
lapped so far over its normal channel that river debris had been washed
up 50 or 60' onto the grass in places. Places that are always a bit
damp, dew ponds etc., were now 3" or more deep in water and there's
more to come.

At the moment I would settle for just a few dry days. One of our
soak-aways has now stopped soaking away consequently we cannot
leave/enter by either of the front doors without donning wellies.

And best wishes from me to everyone for a happy new gardening year.
As others have said, it would be good to have some properly organised
seasons this year so that we will know what to expect.
It seems we might be planning a gardening tour of Devon this year, so
who knows where we could be dropping in!

Yes, Happy New Year everyone. Lets hope for the same summer but a
proper spring and a touch less monsoon season.

Having said which, the rain is hurling itself against the windows right
now! Grandson is off to his bed - rather on the late side, I must say
- and I won't be surprised if we're not far behind him! It's a wet
start to the new year down here, I think!

minutes,
Rain only at night?

At exactly midnight our central heating combi boiler died. :-((((((((((


For anything containing a computer and connector, I'd have said it
was a leap-second bug Unfortunately it almost certainly isn't
connected to the internet and a leap-second definitely wasn't
added this year, so I doubt that is the case!

Good luck getting it fixed.
