Watering still needed
Just an observation but we've noticed that despite really torrential rain
lately, some things still need watering. We have some 3 yo Euryops growing in Ali Baba pots and they're bone dry because the rain hasn't penetrated their foliage cover. It really astonished me to see how dry they were. Of course, the strong winds we've had probably haven't helped, either! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds after garden to email me) |

I've also been down there hoeing today and you can't do that if the ground is wet. With our hanging baskets I water every day without fail no matter what the weather does, the foliage cover stops most rain from entering the basket, it just runs off like a thatched cottage. -- Regards Bob Some photos of my plants at..... |
