Rain, never thought I'd be saying 'not enough' but at the moment this is true. We have had some rain but the subsoil is still very dry and it looks like it may well be into the New Year before there is enough to get the soil thoroughly soaked. In the mean time there is still a lot to see and enjoy in the garden but the weed seeds have germinated with a vengeance after the recent rains.
At last some rain after two of the driest months of this year in which, apart from a freak cloudburst at the end of July, Norfolk has had almost no rain. Apples are less sweet because of a shortage of water and many trees are prematurely she
In spite of the lack of rain and drying winds most of the roses are still looking good, showing little sign of stress and apart from some deer damage - eating the developing flower buds - they continue to flower well.
