There is progress on implementing the garden design although I’m still about 30 plants short of being able to complete phase 1. It seems there is a national shortage of plants due to a combination of the pandemic, Brexit and plants not being ready in time for spring.
It hasn’t rained here for several weeks so I’m having to water them nearly every day. I imagine the level in my rainwater harvesting tank is reducing daily. There is little prospect of rain in the next few weeks so it seems as if the traditional April showers are not going to happen.
