Drought At Devonia

That looks very good Andrew. Its very dry here too.

Hi Andrew
You must be fed up listening to us complaining about the rain. We have had very wet conditions here for weeks coupled with high winds. My Pelargonium flower heads are rotting before they get a chance to open. It was warmer today but the wind prevents us from enjoying it. I have been wearing warm jumpers and the gas fire has to be lit each evening. After such wonderful weather in June we feel we have moved into Autumn mode. I would like you to send me some warm sun and I shall send you some rain.
Best wishes
Linda

looks great andrew and wouldnt think you had no rain, we have had it most of the week here and strong winds that did most damage, lovely pics to ;o))

I cannot remember when we had a significant amount of rain here on the Sussex coast ... the lawns are parched but I know they'll recover so not concerned at all ... the Hydrangeas were drooping so they've had a drenching late evening ... the temperature is meant to hit 92 on Tuesday with rain on Wednesday ... it cannot come too soon for me ! Having planted up the front gravelled area recently with Lavender, Eucalyptus, Rosemary and Verbena Bonariensis I have to say they're loving the sunny weather. : o )))

Yes it is very dry round here Andrew, we often don't get much of any forecas rain do we. Nevertheless your garden is looking lovely on your regime. I only water bedding plants and containers, the shrubs have to take their chances although I did have to do some emergency watering on a large Rhododendron which was looking very distressed recently.

Your right Sandra its been a week of wind and rain and still a hosepipe ban.

fed up with it now, i want sunshine carol

Makes two of us, hope its not going to stay like this for rest of summer, like it did last year, and the one before, and the one before that, :((

hope not i have joe`s 18th planned in garden for family ;o((

Sanbaz - you might have to hire a garden in Bracknell ;-)

Fingers crossed for you,nice one Andrew:))

are you offering andrew ;o)), my brother only has a small garden

I can empathise with Andrew. altough we have had some rain the soil is dust dry just 1" below the surface. I too resent watering the garden but have to do some pots and a few newly planted plants from early summer. Fingers crossed.

Does seem to be doing very well, in spite of the drought.
