[Misc] Have you been watering / sprinklering your garden?

[Bozza]

Not at all here - just doesn't feel the done thing when it's not rained for four centuries or so.

No such thoughts from my neighbours though - most evenings I can hear their sprinkler doing its thang, dispersing water loveliness across their lawn and garden.

What are you up to?

Nope. It’s completely brown. Lawn was rubbish anyway - I think this dry spell has tipped me into getting is astroturfed.

Nooooooooo

Not I.

Grass always grows back eventually, and actually, its saved me MOWING it. I'd be mildly embarrassed if my garden looked like the 16th at Augusta, whilst all around me looked like an average night in Croydon after all the usual crews had been out once again with the black hoodies and the paraffin.

No. the grass will recover.

Lawn’s gone but I still do one watering can’s worth to the pots when I awake. It gives me a sense of enormous well-being (Parklife!)

Two sets of pals have of mine have recently done it, looks great. The soil quality is so poor around here no-one has decent grass. I’ve also got a rampant bamboo tree that’s totally out of control

Garden - have been watering the pots, have just Chelsea chopped the bed plants, so as to give them a fighting chance plus watering.
Allotment - a necessity to do watering.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Watering can on the 5 big pots. Commando course to get to them owing to building site out back.

It was 30 degrees in Faversham this evening at quarter to eight. FFS.

More water = More mowing



F***k that.

 

[Badger]

Get the heavy roller out and a set of stumps

 

[Guinness Boy]

My garden is ****ed.

I have nominal responsibility for mowing and watering but I was away as the heatwave took hold and the lawn died.

My son and the girl next door who both love football have flattened our plants in a manner the Luftwaffe would have approved of.

That leaves the barbecue. I’m just about in control of that though I can hear it groaning from over use.

You could sharpen the tips and dangle Hopkins over it.

Just a thought.

Good plan

I've been filling my birdbath most evenings though. Those poor little feathered suckers must be struggling in this.

Definitely this.

The noisy b’stard baby seagull that has grown up on the roof of the house opposite is THRIVING. And waking me up just as I drop off due to the temperature becoming bearable. FFS.
