We in the UK (well, this London bit) had about an inch of rain falling steadily over the whole day yesterday. Meant I had to wait until today to finish my planting, but it also meant I didn't have to get the hose out. The ground is moist, but not wet and claggy, which just shows how dry it's been here. My pond has still got a good 3" to go before it even looks near full.
