I think it was our fault, sorry :-(
Earlier this year we added two more water butts to our systems in the
gardens making eight. I don't think we have ever reached half full, or should that be half empty? Would it help if we scrapped the lot, concreted the garden over and painted it green? Mike -- |

We have just come back off a cruise to Greenland, Iceland and the Norwegian Fjords and are due to go on one soon from Southampton to Singapore, NOW, if we had just a smidgeon more rain, the cruise ship could come and pick us up :-) Save us going to Southampton ;-) So I might take you up on the offer ;-) |

Yes, that would provide hard standing for a LOT more water butts. And the extra concrete would send lots of water down to the flood plains. -- Gordon H Remove "invalid" to reply |

I'm not sure what that's about unless it's to show off your perceived wealth. In this group I'd like to see you talking about gardening and in all the others an appropriate subject without injecting "I went on a cruise" It's irrevelent. We don't care. |

I NEVER ever see you comment on the personal family chit chat between members of this site. Non gardening chit chat that has NOTHING AT ALL to do with gardening!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't you find it a little odd? No of course you don't :-)) Kindest possible regards Mike |

I didn't see his post but we're not long back from a cruise up to and beyond Svalbard as well as Faroes, Norway etc. When we got back I could hardly get into the greenhouse for all the foliage - had to hack at the trailing lianas of tomatoes ... an automatic waterer (hosepipe from butts to a weeping pipe in the gh) ensured lots of growth. Any advance on the Arctic Circle? Not that I care either and certainly wouldn't want to go anywhere hot! :-)))))))))))) Mary |

Don't want anywhere hot???? Booked Oriana to the Caribbean this morning for 2010 and going on Arcadia's 1st two legs of her Worldie in January. Med, Suez Arabian Sea to Singapore! Which ship did you cruise on? You mention the self watering, we have wonderful neighbours who look after the house, mail, windows AND garden. We came home to quite a crop of tomatoes which were way in advance of his so we were able to 'help him out'!! Mike |
