Paddy fields?

The allotment site has a slight decline.

We have two allotments, number 1 being on the slightly higher ground.

But number two is just a bit lower, so the bottom row off allotments

are suffering with a lot of standing water.

This photo ( excuse the finger) is of the plot next to mine, ours is not 

too bad, as we had rotovated just before the rains came, 

so the soil depth is still quite high.

Lots of standing water all around the bottom of the allotment site, 

7 hours after it had stopped raining.

The good news is when we do manage to get our main crop potatoes in, this is 

where they'll be going, they should like the extra water this allotment will give them.

BUTTS

We now have well over 2500 litres of rain water in our water butts, which is great news.
If I had been asked 4 weeks ago when we finished putting both of the EMPTY 1000 litre IBC
in there final position, if we would get them filled, I would have said
"not before christmas"
but here we are, there full!

Now for some sunshine?

Weather

Even with this epic rain, its the temperature that bothers me, I ve got some plants in the greenhouse and I don't think they are happy at all. I m considering a greenhouse fan heater.
