5am.

I'm getting up in the early mornings so that I can water the garden before the heat of the day.
The vegetable plot is loving all this warmth - as am I!
The courgettes are on stream
but the lawn is struggling.
As well as watering I'm busy dead-heading and cutting back.



It's wonderful to be living out of doors!

      It's selective camera work, I assure you - and my house is a tip!

    We have been watering early mornings and late evening. Our back lawn is dry in patches too but the heat is a favourite of the roses!
    Your garden looks happy

      We, and our roses, are obviously enjoying the same conditions, Hostess. I hope retirement is feeling good!

    I thought you were going to write something about someone called 'Sam'. I've been reading too many personalised number-plates.

    I've decided it chic to have a brown lawn. Water can be used for so many other better things. Your garden however, madam, is lovely and well worth the water.

      If it's chic to have a brown lawn then I am very chic! I don't waste water on grass but the veg are getting a lot of attention.

    Your garden looks beautiful, and I love the stone of the house. Our lawn is brown as yours, we have a bad wind and when I water some plants, the wind blow the water away. I hope for some rain today.

      I hope that the rain came for you, Sigrun. We had a little during the night but not enough to be of much use, only to take some dust off the leaves.
