Thursday 1.

Rained a good deal during the night. Garden was desparate for rain. Bright sunshine this morning though. Took above photo of stormy sky rather later this morning, I think about eleven. Didn't rain again though.





I seem to remember putting up a photo of this rosebush last year. Much more vigorous this year. It's a Ferdinand Pichard (similar to the old Rosa Mundi). It's a 'striped' rose, with a glorious scent when the sun's on it as it was early this afternoon.

We've had hardly any rain. I noticed today that some sedums are wilting - never known that before, they're well established too, been there at least ten years.

Yes, I'm afraid we've been having to water this last ten days or so, to give the garden any sort of chance. Shan't have to tonight though.
