and so the watering begins...
Well Sacha says she is watering...
and so am I.. outside veg, young fruit trees, border flowers. I don't usually bother with the grass, but there are big cracks there already. Is the rest of the nation watering, or just Dorset and Devon? Keith |

Cheers keith Nottingham I've had a couple of sprinklers intermittently on the go for a week now -- connected to water butts. But now the butts need rain so may shortly have to resort to my newly liberated outdoor tap. |

Up here in Shropshire we are watering new plantings only, at the moment. -- Sally in Shropshire, UK bed and breakfast near Ludlow: http://www.stonybrook-ludlow.co.uk Burne-Jones/William Morris window in Shropshire church: http://www.whitton-stmarys.org.uk |

Keith Yes-watering here and have been for the last two weeks. Even the normally damp/boggy bit of the lower garden is too dry for the stuff growing there. A nice gentle patter of rain (at nights) would be wonderful. |

I'm just down the road from Rupert and I'm not watering (apart from greenhouse and pots on the terrace). Soil surface is dry, but its still all nice and damp underneath. I'm caving at the weekend - low water levels will suit me just fine :-) -- Kay |

I live on a slope near the bottom of a hill so there's still water draining into the garden, this will continue for several months usually but I'm having to water all my containers here in Bedfordshire :-( |

Is the rest of the nation watering, or just Dorset and Devon? Hullo Keith! Watered here in manc, and lots of it. Emptied a whole water but at the lotty - the ground was cracking and the onions looked very thirsty indeed. There's been days when I thought we'd get rain .... but nothing. Got sun burns on my neck gallivanting around yorkshire sculpture park today and on our way back my garden was pleading for some water. It's the first time that I go around front and back garden in mid April watering like there's no tomorrow. Now I'm praying for lots of rain next week - I'll then be back at work tee hee |

Keith I will be as soon as I get the outside water tap re-connected. it hasn't rained for at least two weeks here in Liverpool. Hope it stays dry for the next few days for the race goers |

We did need it. Showers forecast for the next few days. -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |

Well Sacha says she is watering... and so am I.. I started watering pots, veg seedlings and potatoes (leafing up happily!) last weekend. The water butt is running dangerously low, so is now strictly for acid lovers only. Rain some time this week would be good, but I hesitate to complain about this glorious weather! Peter |
