 jy brown card, weeds, chicken bedding (hay) and poo, off compost, veggie scraps ...

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 jtay hahaha that'll have the neighbours looking. I don't think I made it right tbh. As I just put it down on top of shingles that has weed fabric under it so no way bugs and worms can get in from the soil.

[jtay]

 *Stormforce~beka* Ah, yeah that'll be it.

If I finds worms when digging, they go straight it the composter.

 jtay Mine goes in chicken's mouth's But I shall adopt your method! ...

When I got up at 06.00 and saw gloom, mist and felt invizdriz as I popped out to the bin I thought oh no here we go again!

Thankfully it’s cleared nicely in the last half hour and we look set for a sunny spells day. 

[AWD]

Another grey, cloudy & dull start to the day here.  Completely overcast and feeling cool.  Feels colder than yesterday despite being dry today.

[jtay]

Same as Andy, here. Feared for the worst first thing, but it's decent out there now.

[AWD]

And now it’s started drizzling here!

[dr weather]

Gloomy start to the day.

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, a pleasant sunny start to the day and the breeze has all but dropped out. The overnight low was warmer than of recent with 5.2°C at: 02:35, currently 11.8°C, RH75% and light air movement from the N - NNE, with scattered clouds at an altitude of 1,700 ft and scattered clouds at an altitude of 3,500 ft.

Inverse here, started out a nice day plenty of sun, now it's overcast yet dry. Thanks for sending it our way..

[jtay]

Cloudy here too now, if it's any consolation.

Warmest place is in the greenhouse at a lovely 21C. Might have to test the WiFi signal in there.

What a difference a few miles make.Mower wheel spin in sodden ground,few miles away,bone dry with slight cracks are starting to appear.

[Andy Bown]

 *Stormforce~beka* nope, it works perfectly for us and has done for about 15 years! 

[jtay]

Decent evening out there now. Plenty of sunshine.

Got 90 mins of digging done, after work.  On the home straight now. 

[Mapantz]

3.5 hours of sunshine and a max temp of 14.6°C.

The recent low RH has helped dry things out, but I don't think it'll last long?!

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 jtay I love evening gardening! It's the best!

On Golden sands, perfect channel crossing weather

[Andy Bown]

Looks like there’s a weak front/trough moving South just like yesterday.

Amusingly yesterday’s light rain/showers narrowly missed to my West and today’s looks like being a narrow miss to my East! 
 

Hoping it will help the sky clear into the afternoon like happened yesterday. Although there have been some brief sunny spells so far.

A pleasant walk out into the woods at bluebell time.
