Garden - 22nd July 18
It hasn't rained for 5 weeks now. Everything in the garden that I haven't been able to water has died. That includes most of the scrubs we have planted in the 5 years. Managed to rig up a watering system for the new hedge on the front border. REALLY depressing!
The veg patch has had its leanest crop...ever!
Pls RAIN, Pls RAIN!

| Awful, I know. But wanted to have a record of the parched state of the borders |

|
| Campsis - or Trumpet Vine - is doing well. It thrives in drought conditions! |
|
|
|
|
| Dahlias - in the tubs. They get fed and watered so are doing well |
|
|
| Pots by the Front Door |
|
|
| Grandson Tree. Even the geraniums are wilting! |

| Hydrangea on pergola. Needs a drink! |
|
|
| Lilies have not been v good this year. This is one of the best. |
|
|
| Probably one of the best displays - 'cos it gets watered! Mo's fuchsias are doing well. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Petunias are also doing well. They love the sun. And they get watered! |
|
|
| The patio pots are doing well. |
