Hi No1 Suspect
Good to hear from you again. Not doing anything out of the ordinary but then I am north of Inverness so not really short of water (as yet). I do try to conserve water - rainwater from the house fills my water butt which I use to water both veg patch and greenhouse, and intend to get smaller butt to collect rainwater from the greenhouse roof. Also use water retaining gel in baskets and pots, and sink bottles beside thisty plants. Have ground cover plants that are two seasons old and are beginning to act like a living mulch - ajuga (bugle) and golden creeping jenny.
