April Garden

We have had some token rain, but not enough to make any real difference to the main garden...er dustbowl. Things are getting pretty grim for farmers and growers around here. So far we have water, but no idea for how long, so we are saving as much as possible. All the cold water before the hot comes through in the sink or shower, all rinse water, vege water. We've stopped using the dishwasher and I try to use the washing machine only once a
week. Every little helps (sorry Tescos!).

Jerry has been busy building in the garden. This time it's new garden beds using some pavers we got from one of his work colleagues, plus another rustic gate - this time for the fruit cage

24 hours later, and it's still raining! Fantastic!

Of course, the yard now resembles a mud pit where all the grass has died or been worn away by the dogs, but you can't have everything :*)
