It has been drizzling most of today with some late, warm sunshine to dry off my wet clothese before finishing work.<br /><br />At last I can get on with gardening without feeling as if I shall keel over with heat exhaustion!<br /><br />By the way, Purple Loosestrife is also a border favourite of mine, although the colour can be sometimes hard to place. It grows wild in the secret valley too which is a real bonus.<br /><br />JohnsonJOHN SHORTLAND, Cotswold Hills, England.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11702000270961029986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723797518858451239.post-91695481867027525002010-08-17T01:21:43.581-07:002010-08-17T01:21:43.581-07:00Wasn't that rain just so welcome Johnson, look...Wasn't that rain just so welcome Johnson, looks set for more this week too, we really do need it for the garden I know, but like buses, you wait ages and then...How interesting that you should be posting about marshmallow as well, I do so agree with you about its lovely delicate flowers. Maybe I should try transplanting some of mine to the border as well. Oddly enough I've recently planted some Hemp Agrimony too for my wildflower area, an excellent bee plant that I'm intending to write about soon, are we great minds thinking alike...!cottage garden farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655117357492601456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723797518858451239.post-68701804257674786732010-08-13T12:31:17.428-07:002010-08-13T12:31:17.428-07:00Lovely photos...and by your description, I could j...Lovely photos...and by your description, I could just smell the wonderful smell of wet earthSuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329289442910294160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723797518858451239.post-81349476129581332532010-08-13T02:40:35.693-07:002010-08-13T02:40:35.693-07:00THanks to all of you for your comments.

Hopefully, there will be some as yesterday's shower didn't do a lot of good. It would be nice to have a week of soft, gentle rain that really got into the ground!<br /><br />I'm not sure, Di, how I would cope with a summer of 35C. We are getting more and more days (global warming?) where the temperature reaches 30C - anything above the mid twenties and I, let alone the plants, begin to wilt!<br /><br />JohnsonJOHN SHORTLAND, Cotswold Hills, England.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11702000270961029986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723797518858451239.post-7857560681857246822010-08-12T21:29:33.397-07:002010-08-12T21:29:33.397-07:00It takes an artist to make "another rain stor...It takes an artist to make "another rain storm" look magical.<br />DocDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05230334534323236665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723797518858451239.post-48835567474065997252010-08-12T20:12:22.977-07:002010-08-12T20:12:22.977-07:00There is nothing like a rain storm... especially i...There is nothing like a rain storm... especially in beautiful countryside such as seen in your lovely photos!
