Late summer
This summer has been fantastic, it's been sunny for months and low rainfall.
Fuchsia in planter
I walked past this fuchsia yesterday in a church planter and thought it looked great.
Something that Gardenis.co.uk will never sell
Why do people put these plastic balls on the front of their houses, pubs etc. They look ridiculous! There is loads of real plants you could grow instead, including drought tolerant, low maintenance ones, that would look so much better than these obviously fake topiary balls that sooner or later will end up in landfill. As the title says Gardenis.co.uk will never sell them or plastic flowers or plastic artificial grass or glysophate weedkillers or any other toxic liquid or powder.
Water shortage
The government has issued advice on how to save water, due to very low levels in some parts of the country. Five regions are officially in drought. Top of the list is to get a water butt, to save rainwater to water the garden with. See the water butt section in the menu above, to order one if you want. Various sizes available.
The last on the list was more obscure. Delete emails to reduce storage memory being used, as data centres use a lot of water to keep cool.

Hosepipe ban - Yorkshire
Today a hosepipe ban was announced for the Yorkshire region, and it is expected to last until winter. In previous years when hosepipe bans have been announced there has been a surge of water butt orders, with some sizes going out of stock, and longer delivery times. If you want to catch any falling rain and store it for watering your garden, a water butt kit that fits onto your drainpipe works great. Various sizes are for sale in the water butts category.
