I've been blocked a couple of times in the last 2 weeks by a privacy policy pop up. It prevents me from entering the forum for approximately 2 days.

Lucky you, wish I could say the same. I've still got the April showers here. It's been going on for days and days.

Oh no Jan, that's a shame, you must be quite sad about that, I would be.

And who could blame you. I'm just watching TV.

Lovely weather for July! Raining again, windy and thunder. Doesn't look like I will be doing any gardening today.

No gardening for me today. It's rained most of the day!

MWS, shame about the fruit, it's so frustrating when you've waited and hoped for a good result.

Arh!!!!! So that's it!!!!!! Now we know!

Jan I can't help but wonder if you are having this spasmodic rain? I've lost count of how many times it's rained today! I have managed to do some gardening today. Cut a large bamboo, general other bits sorted. Apparently, next week it's going to be very hot!

Oh, I get it, sap. That must have been quite worrying, you never know how these things are going to go, each individual is different. Yes, I think you need full protective wear for dealing with these situations. Probably best to inform the council and let them deal with it, they would have all...

Thanks for the info, and to think you ended up in hospital just from strimming. My goodness, did you come into contact, or was the irritation caused by spores? I have several areas by my house to clear, how should I go about removing any of these toxic plants if I see them?

It's important that we are educated and recognise these toxic plants. Anything reported should be dealt with immediately by the relevant council. I hope that schools are educating children on the appearance and efects of these toxic plants.

Norway, always wanted to go there, sounds fab. I don't usually cut flowers from the garden, but these roses were getting damaged by the rain.

Same here Jan. Everytime I think of going out to do tidying or something, I can hear the rain. Just started again now.

It's been dry here, apart from a few showers, but not enough to give the pots a good watering. Sounds like you've had a lot of rain then Steve.

I've been doing some watering in preparation for the heat!!!!! I'm sure it's warmed up today, I haven't looked at the weather.

Thanks Lyn, just a head cold. I don't do well with colds, I can have a 6.5 hr operation and amaze the nurses with my recovery on just paracetamol, but colds are awful. Thanks for the warning about the weather!

Well watering is a job I can do without. I've stayed in due to a head cold!

I remember years ago when we had massive hail stones, really awful, people were sheltering anywhere because the hail was painful as it hit your skin. I gave a lady and her dog a lift home from the shops, we weren't sure if the hail had totally stopped and she didn't even have an umbrella. She...
