Says a lot unfortunately, when we're banking in a heavy dew to get us out of trouble.

Unfortunately

I was walking the edge of the silage fields today throwing back stones. Jeez the land is rock solid dry. Tried to flatten down the odd bit of raised earth from poaching. Couldn't do it.

Met.ie are saying a band of rain to move across the country on Saturday giving 5-10 mm of rain. Time to get out fertilizer spreader. My ground could use it.

Well i flippin dont. He has a good head on his shoulders, 13or so years on me, a good system going farming and doing bit of contracting to make a few bob and getting properly educated. Has it all ahead of him. OH AND NO WIFE.☺☺☺. Anyway on the weather front. No dew this morning here. See photos of a clod of clay i took out of the ground yesterday walking the re-seed. Its bone dry to 80mm. Rowing up for silage later so that may draw the rain.

Grass burning up here over the rocks

What causes that, only seems to happen after a dry spell?

I think it's the salt being left behind on the ground after all the water evaporating from the ground during a dry spell and the first shower of rain turns it back into a gas.
Maybe it's not salt (but it could be because it's formed from sea spray during stormy times on the ocean) but along those lines anyway.:D

Any rain anywhere?

No rain here. YR has changed its mind for next week. No rain until Sunday night into Monday and only 0.8mm until Saturday. That wont do.

Just a constant drizzle now, sky is on the ground.

Overcast here with a freshening breeze. Not a drop of water so far and looking like Sunday now before it comes. I've never had so little grass this day of the year and no sign of a surplus coming in the near future.

Bullocks

Another lovely day here , there's hardly even any clouds yet

patsy_mccabe

Raining in east Clare now. Spread fertiliser today, so right on cue.

davidk1394

Raining nicely here since 2. Not too heavy which is ideal. Got the last of the silage bales in before it started

Hard Knocks

Ah hopefully it's only a break before a great summer
