Got going again yesterday, about the only field that would go, currently stopped as next field just a bit too wet.
Not a lot left to do with WW.

Same here, nick.
In fact, it's a great comfort to me first thing every morning this month to be wasting time going around looking all over, yet again, at the sad 2-3% or so acres here which are total crop failures.
Anything less than that and last autumn one might profitably have tried to drill a bit more, and anything more than that and one might now have been financially far better off by doing a bit less.

Same here, another week of the same needed at least.
Same here, Renaultman.
Everything that might have gone today was fit several times over in October, and was done at least once then, if not twice.

I could maybe push some but it needs to go in reasonably nicely and be out quick so will hold for now

It was a wet spot that I thought I could get through but decided to leave it.obviously right beside the road.

Drillman gone skiing so that will stop us trying and making a mess for a week at least , really needs at least another 10 days with some sun and breeze though it has improved (5 dry days in a row) to the point where im of the view that we should get a chance of sowing ww before feb has passed so not going to rush,---yet, this patience is certainly trying mine even though im convinced its right

If we can get a week of this then I think I will go. It’s walked reasonable today but a few more days would stop it sticking to everything.

The varieties I have are only till end of Jan so hopefully get a chance if it carries on drying like today
How do they cope in Spain with vernalisation ?

Well that burst my bubble
