Steamy days, full moon, and the pavements all wet in the morning even though we didn’t hear rain. This isn’t summer but doesn’t feel like Autumn either. The Equator is drooping. The seeds are slow to germinate – not enough sun, bizarrely. And Andrew from the Tree Project has emailed warning of powdery mildew…
Helen, in answer to your question, yes, we are on water restrictions – hence the frantic filling of buckets on Wednesday. We can water twice a week for two hours at a time – at midnight or 6am. No hoses without spray nozzles, drip watering systems only. No cars or driveways, which doesn’t bother us. But we keep forgetting what days we’re allowed to do it – or we don’t happen to be up at midnight (being quite old now, and boring) or 6am (being quite lazy).
