Thank you Rosie for sharing about genus clothing, I hadn’t heard of them before. bought a pair of trousers after you shared before, so pleased with them, and my poor knees are feeling the benefit with the knee pads!! 👍🏻👊

It´s been raining for month and you only rarely see the sun.Nevertheless,it is warm,up to 16 °C during the day and the plants are sprouting.For once I´m happy with my sandy soil 😊Greetings from southern Germany

We live in a rural area and see how sodden the fields are. Some fields have big swathes of bare soil where crop washed away. Genus clothes I thoroughly recommend being able to move freely and bend easily is wonderful

This is such a vital video for this winters extreme rain. Here in Wales we babe had 230% of the normal rainfall in February alone. We had to dig a slight gully down our garden as it was flooding toward the house.

You’re so right about the clean greenhouse! Mine is tidier than it’s been since last spring. I live near Dungeness & I have a garden that’s about 60% shingle & even my borders are saturated! With the little soil I do have looking very muddy indeed. I’m sure I’ve lost a lot of soil recently too, I don’t know if it just washes or drains away? Am hoping this wet weather will give my shrubs and trees the start to 2024 that they need. Hopefully no drought this summer.

I learn something from every video you do. Thank you!

Really useful reminder, thanks.

Yep, farming and gardening here in Co. Limerick and the water levels are sky high. Mud. Can't let the ladies out for a while and they are not happy about it.

[@brefnejowers9747]

I'm sticking to starting seeds, never known rain like it

[@janeelliott6772]

Wise words Rosie.

We have ducks 🦆 in a park with no pond but it’s so flooded .

Hello Rosy, Sound advice as always. Here fields (clay soil) are starting to resemble shallow lakes, rivers, streams and ditches are full to the brim. Happiest creature I have seen recently was a labrador going for a swim! One of my rose bush is attacked by black spot : treat or bin?

[@rosyhardy18]

I’d bin

Hi Rosy, I am on a hill, but because I have solid clay just under the top soil my garden is very wet. I am keeping off the beds, but because I have to walk across the lawn to get to different places, the grass looks like an old rugby pitch. 😢 Should I dress the lawn with sand?

[@aaiyar2643]

Thank you for this important information, Rosie - there’s a lot of moisture inside my portable greenhouse & I’m worried that the plants will die due to this. What would you recommend?

[@rosyhardy18]

Ventilation is key

[@TJ-bn2cn]

I’m beginning to think that the weather isn’t going to pick up 😢

[@onlytm981]

Sorry but this video has come too late for me. My garden is so muddy and puddly due to me walking on it, it could put Glastonbury to shame. I know, I only have myself to blame
