Don't see this often in Aberdeen

Don't often see this in Aberdeen, Scorched grass   Need to get the sprinkler out.

And a very unusual pot plant

Crikey, I think the perlite you're using in that pot is very big and ugly, Angela -a seedling will never manage to push through that.....

As you know, we haven't got any grass to scorch - but David A.  was here to get a few  plants out of the front garden for us yesterday and you should see how dry it is where the  bushes came out.
Powder dry - terrible - I wonder how they're growing at all in such conditions.

To my sorrow and shame I have just put the sprinkler on over some of the primulas; they are starting to look stressed. We were promised some welcome rain last night but 'they' were wrong again, surprise, surprise.

Reminds me of a wet summer in Cambridgeshire.

Put the sprinkler on last night, do these things ever last.

Maggi I liked that, Big perlite. I have chopped up so many of his golf balls, he never picks them up. I think I should have had this on the moan thread

Usually when I water the garden it rains for a fortnight after   .... but that hasn't worked this week!

Yep we seem to be getting a summer this year and after many miserable summers it's a good feeling. Glad our water isn't metered as I have had to use the hose pipe a lot so far.

Seems like a lot of people like looking at golf balls, judging by the number of views!
