Prepare to store/harvest rainwater. Heavy mulching will conserve moisture Water recently planted trees,shrubs&hedging at least once a week. Protect overwintering brassicas/cabbages against pigeons&caterpillars. Close mesh netting is recommended #Garden advice @Weekendgardence

Mulch, grasses, gravel … The West Sussex garden created to cope with hotter, drier summers and mild, soggy winters

Very drying wind at the moment. Mulch beds heavly with bark mulch Gee up or good garden compost. This will conserve moisture. Make contingencies to save,harvest&store water in readiness for the next rainy day. Arrange for your plants to be watered,if away on holiday. – at Cork, Ireland

How do our gardeners rise to the challenge of dry conditions? The team start early to water any newly-planted or particularly thirsty flowers to help them look their best, but we can keep this to a minimum. Mulching our beds with home-grown compost helps with water retention.
