I think north Hampshire is a serious contender. We had (allegedly as I
wasn't here) a downpour on Monday which put about 10cm of water into the
water butts. Other than that just a very light drizzle which has done
nothing but encourage all the slugs out (who decapitated my newly planted
sweetcorn - its war now!)

Apart from mondays brief rain there has been nothing real since the end of
March. I've lost an apple tree and I think its partly down to drought (and
I think it was got by fire blight), I dug it up and the soil was dry as
far as I could dig.

:-0 incredible.



Fortunately its nice and wet this afternoon (though its pretty light
drizzly stuff) Must get my own rain gauge so I don't have to keep asking
my neighbour how much we've had!
