ahh, what a shame, but what lovely pictures! I have had a tall fuchsia
[it is an Irish hedge variety] which has suffered in a similar way.

I don't think it shows in any of the pics of my little garden as it was
not in green or flower at the time they were taken, but my pics are at -

I hope the lupins recover soon.

Your garden shows mine up :-(


No Mary, that was last year, it has been very neglected since then and
several things have died so it looks quite pathetic to me now. My rose
arch has been full of flowers but htey are all soggy and drooping now,
really sad.

The only good thing is that my water but is full again as I have had to
resort to the hose for a few weeks to prevent everything shrivelling to
death.

The front suffers most as being second one in on a terrace I can't get
the hose round to it and am unable to carry buckets of water.



Lovely pictures, your garden is very colourful. Re the hose, could you run
one through the house, back to front? Not as a permanent fixture of course
g.


Thank you, I did try that, but the house has a large lounge diner with a
tiny kithen reached through the lounge. This means that any pipe has to
go through the lounge. I didn't mind before I had a new carpet put
down! However careful you are [I even used to put cloths down] the hose
gets dirty and water ends up on the carpet - usually on the way back
through It was such a palava that I gave up. IF I get very
despirate I fill an old dustbin which ias been placed on a trolly and
drag that round the front when I use the watering can to dispense the
water - also a palava which I am not keep to repeat too often.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
