Saturday became our wettest day of the year but it didn't hold on to its record for very long as Sunday took over the record with 18.2mm or 0.72in.

I have to admit that as we had that record breaking hot day on Thursday I didn't think that the rainfall the day before was going to do much good on an already very dry garden and allotment. Our first early potatoes Casablanca and second earlies Athlete have done all the growing they are going to do and my plan was to lift them this week and replant the bed with some French beans - Safari which are growing in pots at home.
When I lifted some Casablanca potatoes a week or so ago, I did think that the soil was going to be very dry and digging the bed over might be a problem. However, with almost a month's rainfall, of 49.8mm (1.96in), over the last week I don't think that is going to be a problem now. I'm hoping the soil won't be too wet.
The forecast for the next couple of days doesn't look too promising with more rain predicted for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Tuesday looks particularly wet with more showery weather on Wednesday. There's been an amazing turn round in weather and growing conditions in the space of a few days.
