Wettest day of the month


Wednesday was another cloudy day with only a few brief spells of sunshine. The clouds got darker during the afternoon to give a series of heavy showers around 17:00 enough to make it our wettest day of the month.








This picture doesn’t do the clouds much justice as they looked far more ominous as the rain headed our way.
I was expecting our cherry tomatoes to produce the first ripe fruits of the season but at the moment it looks like German Red Strawberry is going to take the honours in the plot greenhouse.
Just in case you were wondering the tomato is growing at this strange angle and the picture doesn't need rotating through 90°.

  1. Just checked Edinburgh's June stats. We got 76mm of rain in June and 30 of that was on one day (21st) whereas in April we only got 14mm. I don't mind betting we've had even more in July! It's back to front this year!

  2. Hi Mal
    I can understand from your rainfall why others keep saying how wet it is. But we've been really dry as our stats are 22.8mm in June,(you had more rain on the 21st than we had all month) 2.4mm in April and so far just 22.8mm in July. We also had a dry March with only 7.2mm leaving only May with 33.7mm. So for us just dry rather than back to front.
