That’s it folks I’m down to my last four watering cans of rain water,the butts are bone dry.
Still we are mid July so I’ve done pretty good,last year was better though I got to the 7th of August when I ran out.
On the bright side there are many more butterflies,bees and hover flies in my garden so a dry spring was good for those little darlings.
How are the other gardeners on here doing? [Post edited 14 Jul 4:16]

Thanks, tend to be a bit Heath-Robinson in makeshift repairs here, improvisation is key!
There used to be a 2nd hand /antique tool shop in local town that sold lovely old garden and farm tools you don’t see anymore that were really useful. Sadly closed after a few years, think the elderly owner may have died. |
That’s the ticket,never throw anything away,you know well that soon as it’s gone to the tip you will need it !
We used to have one of those in Benters you could literally buy anything,it’s a Tescos Express now! | |

The pallets supporting the garden shed on my veg patch have rotted over 10 years, so it's now the Leaning Shed of Yorkshire & will no longer support gutters or downpipe :(
The ones on my 6 x 4 feet greenhouse do a decent job, but they're distinctly mini in scale - a deluge results in a 25% fill of a 75 litre tub on one side, and a 50% fill of a 50 litre tub on the other side, which doesn't go far in hot weather. |
Both tubs now spilling over following mega downpour this pm 👍 |  |

Tipping it down on the Suffolk Cambs border. Will be overflowing at this rate. |  |

From my North wing it looks out towards Suffolk I could see it was very stormy looking.
So lucky you. | |
