The reprieve was short-lived. Just a week's break from the tedium of watering. There has been no progress concerning our abysmal water supply. We spend at least four times as long standing watching the watering can fill as we do emptying it.
There's lots of weeding to tackle, but this has to be neglected. If we stop watering now all the previous work will have been pointless.
It's not the driest year that we have experienced - 2011 takes that accolade. July's short spell of heavy rain means this July has ended up being the fourth wettest July since Martyn started recording weather fifteen years ago. The problem is that the rain that fell this July fell on parched ground and made little impact.
