When is it going to rain ?

[steveR]

We are also very dry now and no sign of any rain.
Already looks like a repeat of last year but colder.

We only get two seasons now, drought from March to September and Flood from October to February and nothing in between.

Said the same to a neighbour only yesterday. It was my driver to get fert on early, as it was a dry old Spring last year and my real growth was early on...

Worst that can happen is lower yields and higher prices.
The only problem is drought now, rain like a bitch at harvest.............

err, if it’s a proper drought, it’ll be dry at planting, dry all through the growing season, dray at harvest & then too dry for the next planting to go ahead. Then repeat . . .

dry years ( widespread low yields, high prices etc etc ) are the ones you can really make some money, if you can actually harvest something

It's tradition that as soon as the sprayer can get round without getting stuck it's time to start complaining about the drought. Or ideally a few days before for those who like to be on top of the situation.

Global warming sceptic however we have change mainly due to the tilt towards the sun. Warmer wetter autumns drier colder springs. Re-run of last couple of years. Will be warm and dry till June when like last year it will start to rain.

Had the wrong kind of moisture this afternoon. All helps I guess.

May 1981 snowfall across large parts of Eastern England. Flattened the OSR. When back down in July wondered what all the fields of dead bracken were. No growth reg or botrytis control in those days. virtually a total write off.
