Further to March thought about rain.

It's now April 23rd, and to my recollection we have had NO rain now for about 4 weeks. The ground up at the plot, having been saturated in March and then rapidly dried out, is now like concrete. Thinking about hiring a breaker to start off any further digging.

Might be a little better now, since we did actually have a tiny drop of rain today. Mind you, it wasn't enough to make any visible difference to the water levels in the water butts.

SUNDAY MARCH 4th,
What an awful day. They said on the television this morning, if you need to do anything outdoors, get it done this morning. By the time I had finished breakfast at 9.30, it was pouring with rain, and it just seemed to get harder and harder as the day went on.
The garden has turned into a quagmire, so I hate to think what conditions are like up at the allotment.

Thoughts

Too tired at the moment, but I'm sure I'll think of something to write here before too long.
