Water wonderful sight: popular Rutland Water Park Wikipedia |
The plot thickens: this vegetable lark really grows on you [Have you spotted the pooch, by the way?] |
We are still being urged to use water wisely, however, so we will be sticking to our butts to provide water for our garden ... now in full bloom after the rain and sunny spells.
I've also sent off for my free garden kit from Anglian Water Authority to help conserve the valuable resource.
That means we'll be receiving water-storing crystals, water-storing mats, an RHS leaflet and RHS pocket guide to drought-tolerant plants. Whooppee! Well, it was free and I didn't fancy splashing out. We're not total drips in these parts, you know.
Our humble vegetable plot seems to be coming along nicely ["coming to it" is the phrase used in the Fens] thanks to all this rain. We are growing all sorts of veg but my spuds [potatoes to you] appear to be doing really well, you'll be pleased to know. I don't want anything to go wrong at this stage so - yes, you've guessed it - I will be keeping my eyes peeled.
