It's been dry here for a fortnight, I don't think I'll panic just yet.

Raining here tonight, a month or 6 without rain would've been nice

fields I dare not put a wheel on 3 weeks ago are concrete today feb drilled crops are barely out the ground, spring drilled crops have drilled into barely enough moisture to get them germinated, plenty of moisture below but they need to get started to reach it! If we don't cop a good shower tonight there is very little expected in the next 3 weeks, I can see us writing off this years cropping!

Could do with a drop here. Spring barley drilled here 4 weeks ago.
At least the kids aren't missing out not being allowed to visit beach. Will take bucket and spade next time.

Grounds like cheese here. Badly poached last autumn has not helped at all though. Roll on dry spell, cannot wait.

I can’t understand how it has dried out so quickly.

Well my lawn has stopped dead. Mowed it for the third time and it is stopped. Ground cracking up.

Crops are very slow indeed.
Put some urea on two weeks ago and has disappeared from the surface but can’t have reached the crop as it’s still very pale.

Cripes these are the very worst conditions for urea. Won't see it for a month without rain.

To be fair it is something I'm concerned about looking forwards.
However, it shows how crap I've been at managing for resilience. I must learn and do better!

I’m thinking about doing some groundwork, just as soon as the last of the lieing water buggers off.
