It has been so hot and sticky these past few days, I've only being pottering around the garden making sure it stays hydrated. We spent nearly £240 on new grass being layed down instead of the horrible cement paving stones, but now it seems a very expensive job that has turned into a nightmare because of the intense heat. I really don't want to put lots of water down onto the grass as I'm trying to conserve the amount of water usage, the garden plants take upto 8 trips with the watering can already. The only thing I will have to do is wait for the weather to calm down and re-seed in the autumn, the other thing about the garden is the wild flowers and poached egg plant that I have grown from seeds are attracting the Bumblebees. I've seen the normal yellow bottomed and orange bottomed Bumblebees, they are really big this year.
Usually by now I would of seen butterflies, especially the peacock butterfly which is common around where I live but this year I haven't seen any yet :-( though the buddliea is late in flowering this year, so I was wondering if this is the reason why I haven't seen the butterfies. Well anyway that is all for now :-)
