We started collecting it on Monday and on Day 1 alone I collected 12 litres: 3 litres per shrub seems like a good soaking to me.
Of course since I started all this it has absolutely pissed down. We have had more rain this week than in the rest of the winter in total, I reckon. So it is official: I am a one-woman Rain-Maker! Do you think there's a career in it?
The water situation does seem really quite bad for the south and east of the country. I live in Wales and my blog name isn't Wellywoman for no reason. When we first moved here from the south east we couldn't believe how much it rained. There are plenty of times when I whinge about the rain but I'll be grateful for it this summer. Buying some new garden furniture is also a sure fire way of guaranteeing a wet summer!!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about how much it can rain in Wales. I grew up in South Wales and learned never to leave the house without a coat and/or umbrella. Old habits die hard too. I still always have a brolly in my bag - even though it has only rained twice here since Xmas!
