An end to our record dry spell

We’ve just gone 34 days without a single drop of rain. The last time it rained was in May on the 14th of the month. Not that it was a great deal of rain just a meagre 0.4mm hardly detectable in the table below.  The remaining 17 days of May were totally rain free. I’ve included the rainfall and temperature records for May 2023 and June 2023 below.

All planted up but..


As I’ve stated in the title the allotment plots are all now planted up. There are a few more brassica plants to go in to fill up one bed to hopefully provide us with a successional crop of cabbages and cauliflowers. However, you’ll notice the but at the end of the title and that’s because the allotment is very dry. It’s a month since we had any rain.
