Crap weather for May 2026

[Barry]

You need some water butts. You've got rain due there on Sunday night so get out now and buy a couple.

When I had the allotment I had six of them. Would last about 4 weeks without rain but you won't need that much just for a lawn unless it's laid on top of rubble like they mostly are round here. A week without rain and it's all brown but that's pretty rare occurence.

What did you grow in your allotment Martin? I admire your endeavour: fresh grown vegetables are often much tastier and cheaper than those bought from a greengrocer.

BTW, I'm sure you know that a full size UK council allotments are 10 poles in size.
