This summer has been fantastic, it's been sunny for months and low rainfall.

I walked past this fuchsia yesterday in a church planter and thought it looked great.

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.

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.
