Hi - I'm new to this forum. I live in Basingstoke, England. Basingstoke is about 40 miles west of London. At present we are sweltering in a heatwave.. with temperatures in the mid 90s - which is fine if you have air-conditioning but of course most people in the UK don't! I have quite a large garden which is laid out as an English country garden - unfortunately we have had very little rain in the last few months and as we have a hosepipe ban much of the garden is very dry. So I am hoping we will get some rain soon (and lots of it!).

Hi! Welcome from Dooley and DR. It was 105F here today. Talked to my sister in Phoenix this afternoon. Her thermometer read 118F. It's near her front steps. She was having thunder, lightning and dust. No rain. We had a little thunder, a few sprinkles and no rain. Guess it's back to watering. Anyway, welcome to the hot, hot summer in Arizona. Hope you like being with us. Dooley
Hi Sally and welcome!! Im in England too and praying for rain.My garden is dying even with constant watering!! The veggie patch is loving it though, we have had four huge cucumbers this week and still have 13 flowers.Anyone want some tomatoes?? lol
8) welcome to the garden Sally J. I'm going to ask Mother nature for rain to go your way. Can't wait for pic of your garden. Catkins I love tomatoes sandwiches in the summer time. I'll PM u with my address (just kidding) .
, i wish i could send you some,only my other half likes them and we have way too many I keep giving them away, only to find two days later that i have more! I wouldnt mind, but i HATE tomatoes, i only put in a couple of plants so Jay could have the odd one with his salad. Mind you, i have a fab chutney recipe
Hi SallyJ and WELCOME to the Stew. You have my sympathy about the rain. Last year, Chicago had the worst drought in 130 years so I can feel your pain. Hopefully you will get some rain soon. LoreD
