Too dry

Whilst parts of the world are flooded, here in England and in my county, we are having a very dry period. I hosepipe the flower and vegetable beds most evenings now when it is cool. I heard that one lady in Wales lives on land with a spring and that is drying up. Plants are dying. I would hate to see my plants die - some seeds were started in January and I have sown ones I've not tried before like delphiniums. If it's not the lack of rain, then frost may kill them. We can't control the weather but we can help nature by nurturing it. Look after nature and it will reward you - our lilac, azalea and rhododendren bushes smell beautiful. How is your garden? Are you lucky enough to own one? If not, try small pots on the windowsill or invest in an allotment. But have a water supply handy!
