I used the contents of two water butts to top up the pond last week, so todays rain came just in time to refill them nicely! I just wish it hadn't been so blustery. My veggie garden also got some much needed moisture and the squashes are growing apace now.
We had a dry but blustery day yesterday so had an afternoon in the garden center looking for ways to hide the filter box with the intention of fitting/planting today but, you've guessed it, it's been persisting down all day today
