Rain just started here. This evening was the first evening I felt cold since last April, time to start adding a few layers under the waterproofs:(

Dark wet cold morning. Allot of standing water in roads.

I believe the correct term for this evening is scuttery.

A very scuttery night here:(

What do ye all think of growth this autumn, don't measure here but it feels like we're well behind on previous years. Only for following the cows with fert leading up to mid September we would have feck all grass. Big diff in ground that got and didn't get fert compared to other autumn's. Unlikely to get to November, a shame as ground is in great order... With another reasonably dry week forecast.

Say my name

Rain yesterday morning.
Rain this morning.
Raining this past half hour.

That was forecast here but I think we only had one rain free day. Ground steadily going backwards.

Dry here at the moment. Lads are out the back of me trying to rotovate the ground for drills for planting garlic. Needs to be planted by the end of October. Hard going in the heavy clay around here. Constant stopping, lifting go again and repeat.

Likes the cold damp weather. I'm after getting a couple of hundred of daffodil bulbs. When I saw your post a few weeks ago you reminded me too. I'd a big line of them but the dogs use it as a run so have to created another on the other side of the pathway.

Got the maize out yesterday and grass seed going back in today with 2 runs of the disc harrow, it's rare that we get off this easy this late in October. My only drama was I fooked up my pit calculations and didn't leave enough room for the maize, sky high messy pit as a result.

Could have tried the bag if you had a bit of ground spare somewhere

Never not got away with an October reseed here, rarely have much frost in nov. That's a reasonably heavy field (by our pathetic East Coast standards), so I'll happily take the opportunity to reseed now rather that have to wait till May if its a wet spring.

And mooo I have too much fodder as is, and basically zero demand for any here in East Wicklow this year, I'd be wasting my time bagging it.

By bagging it I meant the bagpress thing samco have as a means of storing it. There can be a fair chunk of waste from a pit that gets too big. You could feed out of it when you need smaller amounts and keep the pit over then.

Yep, nobody local doing it though. I feed away heavy enough from nov to end of march, drys get afew kgs also, so no real issue with waste.
