Today we’re back to the routine of Summer 2016 – dull days & showers, heavy sudden cloud bursts. This may be well for some tees & plants, but most gardeners, while happy to abandon the watering can & put up their feet instead, will despair at bedding plants that may struggle in the damp, dreary conditions. Even our local authority, who pride themselves on their Bath in Bloom wins, have less than brilliant displays this season.
