Yes, it is too hot! The poor garden is really suffering! And we have it getting hotter as the week goes on!
This is the state of my flower border in the flower garden, this one is in almost constant sunshine from about ten am. I am wondering if I can somehow shade it for a few weeks until this latest hot spell is past!
Elsewhere, Paul's finished the wall as far as he can go until the window arrives.
At least it is starting to shade the folly garden, which would normally be well shaded by the hedging that used to be here. But who knew we were about to have one of the hottest summers on record!
Today Wednesday, Paul found the old patio umbrella and stand and set it over the poor border that gets the most sun.
Hopefully it will save some of the plants from dying during this current hot spell.
But the red-hot pokers (kniphofia) are loving this hot weather!
