The whole of 2026 has been a strange mix of weather. It has played many tricks on our gardens… some plants thrives, some were early others much later, and some never made it. But summer has been dry and very hot. So far three heatwaves and still counting.

Right now the gardens seem to be holding there own…but rain needed. Manual watering can only do so much. Now there is a thing… Me! wanting rain, after our wettest longest winter on record 🙂

Whatever your weather, and as always….

Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other
