Surely I wouldn’t have been so careless as to omit an important caveat in my official request for rain. There definitely would have been a “night time only” clause. This was an amateur error. Perhaps in my desperation I forgot.
Today, at Milo’s Garden, it rained almost non-stop, the only variance being the severity of the downpour. Like a brave little gardener, I struggled on with jobs that would not be detrimental. Eventually, about an hour after my waterproofs succumbed, I admitted defeat. Still, a consolation was that the water butts at home would be filling up. When I got home, less than 10 miles away, it appears that there had only been a couple of showers. Some days it doesn’t work out the way you had hoped.
This photo was not taken today. Any self-respecting bee would have been sheltering somewhere warm and dry. As should any sensible gardener.

The Under-Gardener and I both got soaked to the skin twice on Saturday. Sending sympathies, it is not fun, is it?!

It’s ok, I’m not blaming you. We did have a dry hour at Rosemoor this morning before it started again. We definitely need it here. 😊

Stormy weather gets some gardeners, or at least arborists, more active! That is when we must be out cleaning up the damage.

We are in a rainy period also but still consider it welcome after a dreadfully dry and hot time earlier in the year.
