It's still not rained here.

It rained significantly yesterday here. Then today, it was just spitting rain on and off for most of the day - I could feel raindrops on my arms both ways on my commute, but didn't really get wet. Then about half an hour after I got home, it started raining steadily again, and still is.

We've had sprinkles, light rain here now. Will probably need to water the tomatoes in the growbag (outside). Time to pop some lawn feed (iron sulphate) down.

not at all....just asking a question?

I mean i wouldnt want the environmentalists on here to start slating you for having plastic grass and destroying the bug population and anything else they may come up with. I mean a picture of real grass sent them over the edge.
