Water Crisis

Things have really moved on this week, with talk of hosepipe bans and the like. Decided to stop cutting lawn until further notice. The risk of cutting at this stage is too great. I just don't think it could stand it.

But there is hope. After all, we all know how quickly British weather can change - nearly as fast as me.

Seriously, it looks as if the writing is on the wall. Time to batten down the hatches and cut down on further water loss in garden by any possible means:

• loosen soil surface
• keep soil covered
• keep cool, if possible (move to shade, or insulate pots)
  
• avoid soil disturbance around plant roots
