We’ve had dry weather if not the sun of elsewhere in the country so I gave in this evening and had a massive watering session. I’m a bit bothered as I have now emptied the water butt keeping the pond topped up so I will have to think about new methods of rain harvesting when it does rain again. The new wee fountain in the pond is working well so at least oxygenation should be good with the pond weed looking okay too.
I am really pleased with the effect of the alliums going through the Magic Garden - the white ones are slower than the purple ones but catching up. The bees seem to enjoy them too.
