I find it incredible that you've missed the rain were only 10/12 miles the other side of thetford and we've been getting ample rain this last few weeks, that doesn't mean we don't want somemore as it doesn't hold in the ground long about here. rain every week with a couple of dry days per week for spraying is heaven for us.

I know it's little consulation but we've had years like that it's enough to make you want to scream, your own land is like the Sahara and Joe blogs a couple of Miles up the road seems to catch every passing shower.

Weather web has 50mm over the next few days for us, and we could quite happily get away with none. Trying to finish T2 and missing one chemical and nowhere open doh! :) oh well early finish then.

What do you need? I have most things in the shed and wont be spraying for a fortnight.
