Dare I say it - we need rain!!

I know, we have had plenty of rain in April for a lifetime but now the ground is very dry and dusty.  A little shower here or there wouldn't go amiss :-)
Digging out the weeds in the ransom strip proved a challenge yesterday - they feel like they are concreted in!
Enjoy the weather and see you up there for our daily watering sessions.

Frost forecast for w/e

Early May, bindweed just about the only thing germinating and growing strongly. I seem to have loads coming up and it is all over the ransom strip, will try and have a go at it over w/e, at least the soil is soft! I still haven't planted my last three rows of potatoes, still chitting in my garage, as it has been to wet. Hopefully the rain will pause long enough..... I need to earth up the pots i've already got in as they have just started to come through and there is frost forcast for saturday night. Hoping for some sunshine but i think i'm going to be disappointed Jo
