This sunshine is devastatingly hot hot hot!!!
Keep on top of your watering!!!
Which is difficult by the way if you have a full time job!
I will be looking into an automatic watering system if the wallet will allow. For now, one of my trees that likes water the most is my Potentilla.
Having hidden it behind my larger trees I thought it time to trim back the shoots and flower bud ends. All the extra growth will be taking up extra water!
Here it is after a quick trim…
Hi Bryan, I’ve heard of people keeping them in a small dish of water which might be some help if it’s really warm there. Mind you it’s 36c here in Japan at the moment!
If your after a watering system you could try http://www.watermate.co.uk. It’s very reasonable and if you give him a email explaining what you want he will set you up a package to suit your needs so, no need to work it out yourself. Hope this is some help.
John.
Fantastic … Thanks John. Loving the posts your doing on your blog from JP, I’m humbled 😉
I will have a look t the link you’ve sent me!! Also I’ve been on the hunt for a dish, all the ones garden worthy are too small so far 🙂
Cheers Bryan
