WET WET WET

I think the wellies were put away for about a week, but they are back by the door and in regular use as we have had so much rain. Flowers are rotting within a day or so of opening. The veggies are struggling. And I am fed up having to rush out to cut the grass (which is growing rapidly) in the brief window when its dried out enough and before the next shower!

Anyone else having more joy? 

Any tips for things to plant or to aid struggling plants ?

    What you're having is a typical summer here. Meanwhile, we've had one of our driest on record, well -July anyway  :D
    If it's not going to be regular thing, then you just have to put it down to experience. That's gardening. If it's going to be a sign of things to come, you'll have to plant things more suited to the conditions - ie plants which can cope with more extremes. Not always easy to make that change quickly though. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I'm loving it. My plants love it, too. We have had drought for so long you can almost see them smiling as they draw up the moisture.
