Its true Claire, we have had a dribble of rain today. But everywhere is really dry. Cant water
the garden because of the hosepipe ban. I do have a few sowthisle that are the second flush.
But will have to wait a few weeks for them to show again. Unless we get some rain of course.
I am relying of lavvy leaves and flowers, same with the tree mallow. I have to get the odd
lettuce now too they have been fed the correct diet up to now thankfully.

No way that is bad. Hosepipe ban? I water mine at night and noone has said anything
I only use the minimum to keep them alive though before i get my 'ead bitten off by all the water lovers amongst us
I easily fill a carrier bag from the woods. Loads of honeysuckle flowers up there as well as juicy weeds. Dont mean to make you jealous, but I have trouble finding bags big enough.
