We've had periods of hot weather before, and we've had periods of dry. But nothing like the two together that we have had recently. I have been trying to keep things watered within the constraints that apply, but even some of the bigger trees are struggling.
We have had a total of about 9mm rain over the last couple of weeks, in two batches, and some more today but today's is more like drizzle, at least at the moment.
The winter-flowering honeysuckle has lost some foliage, as has the large tree behind it. I'm hoping they will both recover.
Hot and dry...that's our summer, lasting about six months. By month three everything is suffering and i spend my evenings in the company of the hosepipe.
