EVERYTHING IS COMING UP ROSES...AND WEEDS
The lovely long spells of summery weather with sunshine and little rain, has had its effect on my garden. The roses are loving it, with a little help from my watering can. The lawn, however, is being temperamental. The lack of rain seems to have encouraged the weeds to try and get the upper hand and while my lawn is still green (and many public places have brown lawns now) it is not as it should be.
We had a heavy downpour of rain the other evening and there must be leaf blockage in the guttering as the rain came over the top in waterfalls, almost wrecking one of the hanging baskets. Looking up is not the best for people like me with vertigo and you would have laughed at me standing under a waterfall, struggling to get the hanging basket down and away from the deluge. I was drenched, and covered with bits of compost off the plants. The things I do for love of my garden.
So far, the tomatoes are doing brilliantly. Hope they ripen.
