hi maeve

I am luckier than you in that these days I don't have a huge garden with lots of plants to water.

I can manage reasonably well with a watering can. I know that the lawns will recover so I just leave them alone.

I also have quite a few shrubs and small trees that are pretty drought resistent....by accident rather by design.

Mind you my neighbour has just called to say they are going away for a week and has asked my to look after ( water) her garden for her.

On top of this we are saving domestic water eg washing up water etc and putting into the dried up butts in the garden.

So I will be busy watering each evening and as a result my right arm will probably grow a few inches longer than my left.

regards
