In July it has been raining and I am not complaining. Better than horrendous heat and no need to water the garden. Enjoy a potter round the garden without getting your feet wet and drop in for tea.

I’d prefer the heat with no rain. Although I do like the occasional strong storm.
wonderful photos of your garde, I especially like the blue and purple flowers…

Your garden is looking splendid, Janet. How did you manage to insert Wallace and Gromit into that picture?

Thank you for the views of your garden and virtual tea, Janet.
I envy your rain. I can’t imagine a summer where I don’t have to water the garden.

We had the driest month on record and I emptied all my water butts and collected shower water in a bucket, then we had the wettest month on record!

We could use some rain. Last year was a record-breaking year in terms of acres burned from the fires in California. I just read that we’re ahead of that pace this year. Your garden looks lovely.

My garden looks like a nature reserve. Either rain or uncomfortably humid weather has meant I have done nothing out there this month. (As well as me getting older) My wife says she is ashamed of the front of the house, as it looks like nobody lives here! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

I am letting the front ‘lawn’ grow into a meadow for insects’ sake!
