I'm in the same boat as yourself but down in Kilsheelan. Whoever gave this heat wave should get the boot. Trying frantically to save hay here. Once the wind keeps up and the rain stays away we'll be fine

Heavy drizzle here. Just got fert out in time.

Woeful great drying between the drizzle here. I was out looking at turf that was rare a week ago and it's mad fit for home now.

Heavy misty rain puts a stop to me drawing straw. A chance for the tractor to cool down I suppose.
I think/hope the weather is good again this week.

I noticed a few rushes growing in areas where they never grew before. I suppose it is due to the combination of a wet Winter and Summer.

Mooooo

Savage day in Cork, altho for fencing not ideal, no give in the ground at all so all posts are cro bar jobs. Different years, last July was right wet down here has been grand so far, if the back end comes good would help massively. I feel for ye withave 2 much rain up the country, have fields here that a days rain would soften fairly fast

Could do with a bit down here in places, went to look at a field to mow for bales and my beauties of heifers were after climbing the ditch into it, were there overnight as well I'd say. Planned to bale and put some of the bales out on the field set with redstart. Heavier ground growing get well but slurry still on leaves of silage ground only had one days rain since spread a week ago
