Ah well it's good for our allotment and we might have some beans to pick when we go over later on. Having an allotment means I now pay attention to the weather forecast so I can plan when I spend time over on the plot!Sarahhttp://www.gardenandgardener.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-19739734299095894322009-08-13T18:28:03.239-07:002009-08-13T18:28:03.239-07:00Wonderful flowers dripping in rain photos!Wonderful flowers dripping in rain photos!The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-13020891771387844872009-08-12T20:08:53.890-07:002009-08-12T20:08:53.890-07:00Catherine, your photography is wonderful!

You have a gorgeous garden. <br />We've had so much rain this spring and summer, and cool temps, it's hardly felt like summer at all, but too much rain is much better than not enough. Glad you got some and hope you get lots more.<br />I've loved catching up on your posts tonight.<br />The dragonfly pics are fantastic! <br />Love your dahlias!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-60755842228871785302009-08-12T19:14:49.773-07:002009-08-12T19:14:49.773-07:00We had a couple of days of rain this past week.

As Kim says, there's nothing like a good rain for the garden; so much better than just being watered from the hose.Victoria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16014235737941054206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-82878063249542262172009-08-12T11:21:58.259-07:002009-08-12T11:21:58.259-07:00Love 'Tom Pouse'!
