I may not have to worry about drought and a lack of water for plants while I am away from the garden, but I am plagued with slugs and snails who are delighting in the warm, swampy conditions.
Was hoping to use my day off today to go to the allotment and hack at the weeds but it is far too wet to go near the soil. Am hoping that Sunday will give me chance to wage war on the encroaching forest of creeping buttercup and sprawling grass....
At least things are still flowering and water butts are full but redundant.

| Alec's Red - smells like Turkish delight and has converted me to hybrid tea roses (well some of them anyway) |

| The first ever delphinium in my gardening career to survive slug onslaughts |

| Rosa 'Pleine de Grace' - hideously spiky and savage, but then it does this and all is forgiven for a short while. |
