No Rain & Difficult Decisions For Gardeners | Huw's Garden Diaries
Today is a bit of a sad update about the old garden and my thoughts on the the changing weather I've noticed over the years. Specifically, the lack of rain. A cloud of dust follows me as I drive down the track that used to be muddy, and I can't help thinking this feels like a change we're going to have to adapt to for the future. I know a lot of you from France and Spain have shared with me how uncharacteristically cold or even wet it's been this year for you. So I wanted to make this video as a call to actions. Please let me know your experience the last few years in the comment section and tell me what you plan to do to cope with this in future years. I also encourage you to engage with other commenters and provide support and tips to help them with their gardening struggles.
