We’ve had rain, sometimes torrential, every afternoon/evening for a good week or so now, so yes it’s all greening up nicely, but the rivers are still not flowing and the aquifers and reservoirs are very low, so the local council has just introduced a novel hosepipe ban. Meanwhile, I have overflowing water butts which I can’t use up fast enough. We’ve had to empty an excess from the pool several times, which makes me feel guilty. Wish I could pass on some rain to those in need!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
The two days of steady rain have perked up alot of plants here. Mind you the poor Celebration has suffered With the last blooms on the red standard photo bombing. But the third flush on Sheila's Perfumed has loved it These two rooted cuttings are now potted on will have to wait and see what they are ( faded labels) please excuse the weeds.😊
I went out to take meter readings, no courage to compare and submit. Don't know what will be bills going forward 😧
To cheer me up clicked some bright ones double delight and super Trouper.
My nandina lemon and lime has grown too much this summer. I have been using them at centre of pots with bulbs and winter flowering plants edging as my winter pots but looks like this winter there would be no space for any other plants in these pots. Anyway they look good alone too. Hosta June is all tattered now.

The Fisherman Friend - nice fragrance but not healthy. It was mildewed badly in July.Â
