The plants are in
the ground now. It has been raining on & off ever since. It’s a relief to
see everywhere so well-watered.
Although I don’t
feel it has on the whole been a good summer, even a rather damp one, the wind that
has blown has dried the soil well. I suspect that’s why the pots & front
garden have not done well this year.
The plants in the back
garden are well established now, with roots that go deep into the almost
permanently moist clay below any surface dryness. When the garden was
redesigned, the back garden became one huge soakaway, intended to stop the
previous lakes appearing every year. Hopefully now, with this soaking, plants
in pots & the front garden will finally take off.
