BBC "Christine's garden"
Friday's new series called Christine's garden is certainly something
different, but I reserve judgement. However the lady has no lack of knowledge and experience, so I was delighted to hear her say that you should not water plants in bright sunlight, because it may scorch the leaves. So I am not the only one who has spent a lifetime believing that!! Pam in Bristol |

I believe she and you have so far spent a lifetime believing watering (in sunshine) scorches leaves. It's a fib,a myth and an attempt by the Water Companies to save water :-) |

Does anybody ever post a pic of the damage caused by sunshine after a shower? No, I didn't think so. The simple truth is a droplet of water on a leaf has nowhere near the sphericality which would give it the optical capability to scorch a leaf Rant ends. (But I can't blame the water companies for wanting us to water less) Steve |

The other one that winds me up is " the easy way to water your hanging baskets - just pop a couple of ice cubes in, they water it as they melt". Quite apart from the effects of putting freezing cold water on your plants on a hot day, have you seen how much water you get from a couple of ice cubes? Rant ends. Again. Steve |
