This isn't just a puddle at the side of the rose bed - it's a stream! I can't remember rain like this - we've had downpours day after day for at least three weeks. In fact - since they announced the hosepipe ban!
On the plus side, the lawn is the most amazing bright green.
Frustratingly little time in the garden at the moment, thanks to the frequent April showers. I think it's rained every day since the hosepipe ban was imposed.
But the garden goes on growing without me! These are the tulips from Utrecht - yellow ones appeared first, then red ones and now red and yellow ones.
This is a redundant piece of kit for the foreseeable future thanks to Thames Water's hosepipe ban which came into effect yesterday. I think there should be an exemption for people with weddings in their gardens this Summer. In the absence of that change of policy, I guess I will get some useful exercise walking backwards and forwards with watering cans.
(Of course, if Thames Water fixed the leaks which waste 300 million gallons of water a day then we wouldn't be in this pickle in the first place, but let's not go there.)
