Where has all the grass gone?

[Al R]

They should just announce a hose pipe ban....that always guarantees a monsoon

I'm very shocked they havnt spoken about it! Afraid of losing votes?

Nice steady day of rain here

Hope tickle things along for another bit

.....measured last week going out this evening again




Grow grass with wire ...that any better

I prefer to 'go out' to the pub on a Sunday evening.

 

[hillman]

So would I , but it's like bringing a dog for a walk ...only you don't need to feed it

I saw the title to the thread and thought it was all about a marijuana shortage in Ceredigion ?
How wrong could I be

Rained fairly steady here the last 3 hours - much appreciated. Just want the warmth now.

Farmers turn out to early .grass grows grass. never cast a clout till May be out

each to their own, I do reseed regularly but if I wait too long the grass is too far ahead and im not utilising it. Got more cattle out early than ever before, about 85%, kept a few back as cold winds, have kept early grass growth in check, but whilst not short a rain/ warmth in next 2 weeks would be appreciated, surely well grazed leys respond, let them get long and far less responsive?

We live in a dry area anyway but we had the first rain last night for 6 weeks. A massive 2.9 mm.

Won't need my wellies yet.

Central Scotland and it's not rained properly for a month, literally a handful of tiny showers. Grass has disappeared in last week.

 

[Mutch]

13mm mostly overnight mid Dorset enough to get the seeds away finally☺

 

[GTB]

We've had some light rain overnight too and the cold wind has gone today. It certainly feels a bit better today.

Been persistently raining here all night. Big puddles...it can stop for a while now and have some sunshine please.

Must be going to be a BBQ summer as they haven't mentioned it!

 

[Penmoel]

Nice soft rain here at 6_ stopped now and warmer too, things look a bit sharper

 

[cotswoldcs]

Grrrr, only 3mm in our gauge this morning. #disappointed.

6 mls here, still drizzling as at 10am. Would have liked more especially on our barley and peas given no more rain is forecast.

30mm and 3 dead lambs later we've had enough for now.
