Watering carefully?

Water is precious and when you see the current state of our chalkstreams, whether you have a hose pipe ban or not, it makes you think. What really needs a drink and what is just dehydrated but will survive
Generally, trees and lawns will be OK and it is only our vanity that makes us want to water. The exceptions are newly planted trees but here a good watering can every few days will get them through this summer.
It’s the same with our herbaceous plants unless they are newly planted. However, I do target certain flowers even if drought hardy to help the bees who are struggling to find nectar. Others I give up on including my antirrhinums and phlox which would normally flower well into September, but I am looking after my Gaura and Michaelmas daisies which will provide late summer feed. Currently the bees are feeding on the sedums which are very drought tolerant. The only other flowers I am giving special treatment to are the dahlias, everything else will have to fend for itself.
In the vegetable garden I concentrate only on those crops still to come (like leeks and winter brassicas) and those crops still producing, especially runner and French beans plus courgettes.
Wildlife wise our biggest challenge will be the song thrushes and blackbirds which cannot access worms and invertebrates in the soil and lawns. What turned out to be a very good breeding year may yet prove to be pretty disastrous. This is when you see Wildlife turning to food with a high moisture content. Here are two speckled wood butterflies feeding on my Victoria Plums. Not that unusual but last night the tree was alive with moths and crickets all drawn to the moisture laden fruit. As always your ponds and bird baths are vital at this time of the year
While writing about the effects of drought there was a loud crack outside, not unlike a very close rifle shot. Our grand old larch tree had just shed a limb to preserve moisture, a classic response to stress caused by drought
Earlier this year, I fell victim to a devastating cryptocurrency scam that cost me $79,000 worth of Dogecoin (DOGE). I met a scammer through a Telegram investment group—a woman named “Clara” who posed as an experienced crypto broker. She shared impressive-looking client testimonials and promised a 35% return in just seven days. Her website looked professional, and despite my initial doubts, I eventually transferred 500,000 DOGE, worth about $79,000 at the time.
For the first week, everything looked fine—the trading platform showed my balance growing steadily. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, I was told I needed to pay a $12,000 “withdrawal fee.” Clara reassured me this was standard and fully refundable, so I paid it. Unfortunately, that was just the beginning. More unexpected charges followed: a tax clearance fee, a network fee, a security deposit. Before I knew it, I had lost an additional $8,000.
I was crushed—emotionally and financially. My savings were gone, and I blamed myself for ignoring the red flags. A friend eventually suggested I reach out to PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY, a company known for helping scam victims recover stolen cryptocurrency.
Although I was skeptical, I was also desperate. I contacted them and provided every detail I could: wallet addresses, transaction history, chat logs—everything. Their team got to work right away. Using advanced blockchain tracking techniques, they traced the stolen DOGE, identified the scammer’s wallet, and worked with relevant authorities to freeze the funds before they were moved any further.
Throughout the process, they kept me informed and reassured. After days of relentles
s effort, PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY successfully recovered the majority of my stolen Dogecoin. Their professionalism, expertise, and transparency turned what felt like a hopeless situation into a story of redemption.
If you’ve been a victim of crypto fraud, I highly recommend contacting them:

A few months ago, I was approached online by a so-called investment broker. Everything looked professional — flashy websites, fake but convincing reviews, even video calls with people who seemed legitimate. They promised unbelievable returns on Bitcoin investments, and I, eager to grow my crypto holdings, fell for it. Over a few weeks, I transferred Bitcoin worth around $360,000 to what I thought was a secured investment wallet. The “broker” kept assuring me my money was growing, even showing fake dashboards with fabricated profits. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, they demanded additional fees — taxes, account, activation, and release charges. That’s when the truth hit me I had been scammed. Devastated, I started searching for solutions. But then, a glimmer of hope. A cybersecurity contact muttered Try Dexdert Net Recovery. They hunt crypto ghosts. Dexdert Net had real testimonials, detailed explanations of their process, and most importantly, they didn’t ask for any suspicious upfront fees. After contacting them, their team patiently walked me through the steps gathering all evidence of the scam, tracking the Bitcoin transactions on the blockchain, and using legal recovery channels and cyber forensic methods. They kept me updated at every stage. 4 days later, I got the email I’ll never forget: Funds Recovered. Dexdert Net Recovery successfully traced and retrieved the entire $360,000 worth of Bitcoin from the scammer’s wallets. Thanks to Dexdert Net Pro Recovery, not only did I reclaim my lost Bitcoin, but I also regained a sense of justice — and a serious lesson learned. If you’re ever in a situation like I was, know this: there’s hope, and there are real experts out there who can help. Dexdert Net Recovery proved it to me.

Reviews and comments can be helpful most times. permit me to share that, in the first week of March 2024, I was convinced to invest in a fake Altcoin cryptocurrency platform through someone I connected with on Telegram , which I did but unfortunately after investing my money I discovered I could not withdraw or access my account on the fake platform. Lucky for me, I came across a review on funds recovery and I contacted Coinsrecoveryworldwide Service, and through their help and support I was able to recover my money. Losing money trading crypto can be frustrating but I am happy today that my funds are recovered and I wish to share with you their contacts as i know i am not alone on this boat, nobody deserves to be in such situation.
