The weeds are taking over in the garden, whilst nearly everything else has failed this year including cucumbers, victoria plums, carrots, radish, tomatoes, runner beans... Very few butterflies on the Buddleia......whats going on? |

I don't have a garden, but judging by the amount of runner beans I am being given by various people it seems to be a very good year for them down here. I'm still waiting for the cucumbers, plums, carrots, etc. to appear though!! Haha! |

Hope it's OK tomorrow got a horsey event going on in the park behind me, so probabably spend most of the day there, may be something worth graphically portraying for your delights |

Is there a deluge about to arrive soon from France----though the surface wind is currently N NE at 4 mph, perhaps blowing it back??????? The 18th Aug was the wettest and coldest August day for nearly 10 years in our region. |

Very knowledgable weather jargon Paul, I like it. |
