Morning !, how are you all.

We don't bother with the lawn either, always advised not to water it as it keeps the roots shallow, by not watering they are encouraged to go deeper down in search for the water table! It does go a tad brown but after some rain it soon recovers!.

Off visiting Kingston Lacy NT property today ,so the weather is perfect not too hot!

Have a Magical Monday!

It was very cool, but now the sun has come out. Hope you have a nice visit, @Upsy Daisy !

@Upsy Daisy have a good day. Finished planting the cosmos. Now I've only got the snapdragons to do. I did extra ones just incase the first lot didn't make it, but they did. So now I've got to find somewhere to put them.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

We certainly did thanks.....

@Upsy Daisy Kingston Lacey is so pretty and it's very symmetrical. I don't remember those water features at all. Mind you, we haven't been there for a long time. I have been tidying up all the pots today and finally my lean to has been more or less cleared as well as I need to have the flooring material put in. It's been such a long day that I am now very tired. Over @Lynn248 there are some plants to identify and I wonder if you and @Logan can help.

Just finished a full hours watering and guess what.....its decided to RAIN......

Don't you gawp at the weather reports, @BigC ? That would never happen to me as it never rains in Essex whilst it always rains in Ireland. Today, twice there were tiny droplets of rain, but heavens had other ideas and before long, the sun was baring down at the back of my neck. It's so humid. Count your blessing, @BigC so nice to have a bit of rain.. Bet @Zenj would say the opposite .. I do feel sorry for people being trapped by continuous rain .. so depressing ..

It's been bloody sunny all day while I was at work.

At least you've got the ground ready for the rain it will go in further.

Good morning - it's a bit grey and I woke up about 3am. Realised that I had not turned on the slow cooker. Oh, dear!

Water for an hour after watching bits of Poldark.

Having a rest from gardening today, got to make some marmalade.

I think it must be raining once a week in Ireland, like Cardiff.

I wish I had some of your rain, especially HEAVY RAIN. It's bone dry here. Just mowed the lawn which was full of clover.
