Phew What a Scorcher!

Category: A Gardener Who Gardens | Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2014 10:25 pm

Well that day was a challenge, temp was over 24c - that's pretty hot for Jersey by the way. Last time I wear a padded bra on a hot day. Gives the shape darling but soaks up all the moisture so when I decided to hose myself on the back of my neck (tried and tested cooling technique) it soaked up the water giving me slightly disturbing wet patches all day. Oh the glamour.

When I wasn't watering myself I was watering the very thirsty garden. This time of year seems to be all about fighting with hoses and dead heading. I also gave the pots a feed, we use Miracle gro soluble, which works wonders. I've done a half and half mix with Tomato feed this time to encourage the sweet peas, Ivy leaved geraniums and fuchsias to flower more. Also I was tying up a Mexican jasmine today so our client could put them in the house and wow they smell amazing.

Off to sleep now. Feeling more snoozy than usual as friends popped round and I had a few sociable glasses of wine before dinner.
Night
Love Rachel

I'm rolling with laughter, here. I can so relate to the heat and moisture...

Hah! I never thought underwear choices had to be so well planned.
