Here too and the road and crossover are awash with water as my immediate neighbour has a large paved front garden, the water running all my way as there's a slight slope.
Well, 'Scorched July, the storm clouds fly, Lightning torn August bears corn..........' I like that little rhyme, learned at school.Comment

If there's anything to look forward to after the OlympicsOriginally posted by salymap View Post
, it is that signs are emerging for a nice big high pressure system to settle over the UK next week, after a shaky start, meaning it should get warm, and not too warm.

Thunder yesterday afternoon (the puppy didn't turn a hair, whereas our previous dog would be a quivering wreck) & torrential rain today. We keep thinking 'When summer arrives we'll ...' & then realise that autumn is just around the corner. Trees are already turning, & it's dark by 10.00. What happened?Comment

Yes Flossie, this is more than one little old Gulf Stream or whatever - it's the end of summer as we know it.Originally posted by Flosshilde View Post
Hedges and grass need cutting every week at least and I have to pay for that. Fancy being forced to move by too much growth in the garden.
I look forward to S-A's fine spell, when does it start ?Comment

S-A I thought you said Monday. At 12 noon today I started spraying Roundup, recommended by Ams 51 and I need 5 more hours of dry weather for it to start working, or you may be 'headiing for the last.....' Oh well.

saly, Round-Up (glysophate) starts working almost at once, though some plants are zapped faster than others. I did some "round-upping" in my garden last week and had unexpected showers in the afternoon. The weeds are now quite shrivelled, brown, and ready to be pulled out of the garden. I spent many years in the "green" industry. Round-Up application was part of the weed-control routine especially in peripheral areas. The idea was to keep weed seeds from blowing onto adjacent nursery stock. Our biggest concern was wind not rain. Wind caused Round-Up to drift onto good plants so we always waited for calm weather to do any spraying.Originally posted by salymap View PostS-A I thought you said Monday.
