Our garden is starting to resemble a desert. I couldn't remember the last time we had any rain here, so went to have a look and found that the last time we had any "proper" rain was on May 29 - 15.6mm. After that there was 1.8mm on June 7 and a totally useless 0.4mm on June 16th'
Many of my plants are dead, or dying. Yesterday I went round taking cuttings of some of them and tried rescuing some of my perennial geraniums, digging round the dried up roots, cutting a few bits off and potting up in some rich compost.
I love my garden and gardening so - fingers crossed.
(Long range says that there won't be any rain here until 20 July)
