Well, there we are...

Lawn cut, many dahlias in, the rest, the big ones follow tomorrow with a few more seeds to sow, veggies and flowers.

But, the waterbutts are getting low, three out of five empty, so, maybe the hose pipe, which aint cheap.

This long sunny spell has been a boon but does it presage a drought in the summer or a wet month ahead. Bobo will decide.

They said we may get an overnight frost here.

I am not a gardener, so am hoping that the flowers we have that have to care for themselves, which is far better than any intervention from me, will be fine as they are flowering nicely.

Love to see a lovely garden, just wouldn't know where to start, and have not the inclination to start now.

Here in the UK, we started the automatic watering system for all the pots far earlier than normal, and our normally soggy bottom lawn, which has several springs running under it, is dry - something that normally only happens in a summer heatwave.

One of the old apple trees is almost half covered in blossom, the choisyas are in full flower, with bees all over them.

We have fuchsias and annual osteospermums flowering in pots and baskets that weren’t emptied last autumn, all in sheltered spots, and so many other shrubs in flower far too early.

And the drought persists. Thunderstorms promised overnight have not, thus far, materialised. Having to hosepipe to keep new plantings alive, dammit.

We've had the promised thunderstorms here.  Started out nice and sunny, then storms rolled in around 14h30.

Would love to have even the smallest patch of garden to enjoy.
