After a bit of a dry spell, we’ve had some rain round our way in the last week or so, and the effect it’s had on the greenery in the garden is quite impressive. Mind you, in the northwest 2 hours without rain is considered a drought.

I can claim no credit for these as they are all G’s plants.

It won’t be long before the back yard is it’s usual hydrangea forest, not that G is obsessed by them or anything.
