As requested a video of the garden
Everything is incredibly dry

  1. Aye the weather has been unseasonably dry the last couple of months old lad. I've done very little planting for my clients, only the very few that can be relied upon to water regularly. Your garden does look lovely though...

    1. I planted some colour out today and watered it in well
      The usual burst of may colour just isn’t there this year

  2. Your buddleia (I think?) has a very dramatic shape! Great to see Roger and Weaver in their natural environment, and to hear your voice. :) We're finally getting some rain down here but we're still at a deficit.

  4. A dry garden seems to be holding its breath, waiting....but it is beautifully kept. Thanks for the videos 🙂

    1. It’s raining now but not enough. I love your analogy

  5. Your garden looks lovely. Well done, Janet! And your grass is green! Mine is completely brown and like straw now. Even the rain we've had hasn't made much difference. Weaver is obviously camera shy, unlike Roger, who is a natural in front of a camera! xx

  9. The garden is beautifully designed and looks great. Once the rain comes everything will moisten and refresh. Drought is hard on plants, but they seem to hold on waiting for rain.

    What a lovely and serene garden you have, thanks to Janet! Do you water your potted plants?
    Loved seeing Roger chilling out, Weaver hiding then running for safety, and hearing your wonderful voice. Perhaps you should record audio books?

    Hugs!

      Yes, HIS book . (hint , hint). Or play someone in your story on BBC. Then yourself when you are at the right age. I am stoked now for sure.

  13. I hope you have had some rain for the garden, ours has absolutely relished the last couple of days of cooler weather and pretty heavy rain. It's brought the lupins out magnificently.

  15. Happy to see the video of Weaver. Despite the dryness, the garden is beautiful. Many shades of green.

    Your garden is lovely. I loved hearing your voice, too.
    I just adopted a shelter dog, she is a welsh, corgie, shepherd mix. She came from a high kill shelter in New Mexico and brought to Utah by Paws for Life, a non-profit rescue organization. She is very lively, one year 5 months old. I am going a little nuts, but all will be well.
    Take Care,
    Kaye

    You have the most splendid voice,sexy even. It is like being there in person hearing you telling us what all is going on in your own voice, rather than reading. And to see the animals live and in person, so to speak. Thank you SO much. G.P.

    2. I had the same thought Lizzy, how you might emerge through the gentle green curtain into a secret garden 😁

  27. That nice deep voice of yours makes you a great narrator of your own videos.

  29. Your spoken English is too BBC for a Welshman. I think you might need reverse elocution lessons from someone who is the opposite of Professor Henry Higgins.

  30. Oh, your garden is so much more lush than our few potted plants.

  31. A lovely glimpse into the garden and Roger and Weaver too. I agree with the others about your voice. I had forgotten about hearing it in the Ukrainian village videos, and it brought it all back for a moment.
