    Sadly neither of them flowered this year - due to the late frosts we had which killed the emerging blooms :frown:

    Water Conservation Gardening

    I'm not conserving water at the moment. It's about two weeks since we had rain. The soil is so dry that it's cracking up so the sprinkler has been on all day - moving it around the garden.

    How are your gardens coping with the dry weather?

    That's the first I've heard of it @pete? I'll let you know if there is any, there are still a few patches left on the mountain tops from winter.
