Re: Desperate for real rain
The plastic palms are ordered can't afford astro turf though, so will have to gravel the lawn.
Best regards

Re: Desperate for real rain
I'm on a meter (granted not as expensive as Daves region) and I go out and water the bamboos and nanas every 2-3 days and the rest maybe once a weekcordyman wrote:Apart from those on a meter, if it's dry get the hose out every night lol
granted my garden is smaller than most and I dont have extensive collections of plants that need lots of water
Re: Desperate for real rain
Thankfully I'm not on a meter so can water to my hearts content, but it is amusing that some are actually moaning about how dry it has been, do you remember last year?! lol Seems some people just like to moan

having a lovely summer tops the condition of the garden every time
Re: Desperate for real rain
The weather is currently very chilly here and the ground is relatively wet from some rain events we had recently so not much problem, although due to the cool nature of things, not much growth is going on in the main part of the garden in the last week or so
Re: Desperate for real rain
TAKE ALL THIS RAIN BACK TO THE UK! it just wont stop and the forcast says another 6 or 7 days of it..we have flood warnings up..sorry I opened my mouth
Re: Desperate for real rain
As I stated with some certainty, as soon as I went on a water meter the rain would cease to come.
Re: Desperate for real rain
What a superb day and evening!! It almost feels warmer now as our house warms up thanks to the south facing heating the bricks during the day! Still 15C as I type. Suppose to be hotter tomorrow, shame I'm working all weekend.
Most wanted list - Any Young Trachycarpus and/or fern.
