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

I’m not the type of person who usually falls for scams. I do my research, I ask questions, and I don’t rush into things. But in late 2024, I fell victim to what I thought was a promising cryptocurrency investment. The scammers had professional looking platforms, fake testimonials, even live chat support. It looked like a legitimate trading opportunity. I initially invested a small amount in Bitcoin and saw “returns” in a matter of days. That built my confidence, so I continued investing until I had put in a total of $197,000. That’s when everything changed. My account was suddenly “frozen due to suspicious activity,” and I was told I needed to pay even more to release the funds. I knew I had been scammed. I felt helpless. The money was gone. I contacted the authorities, but with crypto, jurisdiction gets blurry and time is not on your side. That’s when someone referred me to Malice Cyber Recovery. From the very first call, they treated me with respect and urgency. Their team of cybercrime specialists listened to my story in detail, asked the right questions, and immediately began the investigation. They were transparent about the process and gave me realistic expectations but still, I wasn’t prepared for how fast and effective they turned out to be. Within a few weeks, Malice Cyber Recovery managed to trace the digital wallet activity and track down the laundering paths the scammers used. They worked with legal authorities and crypto compliance networks to help freeze the funds that were still in circulation. Through strategic negotiation and solid technical work, they helped me recover a significant portion of the stolen funds something I truly thought was impossible. Thanks to their work, I got back nearly all of what I lost. More than that, I regained peace of mind. I can’t thank Malice Cyber Recovery enough for what they did for me. If you’ve been scammed whether in crypto or any other online fraud don’t give up. This team knows what they’re doing, and they care. They turned what felt like a nightmare into a second chance

I’m writing this to help stop fake reviews because cybercrime has taken over the internet, the rate of false testimonies on cryptocurrency recovery is unjust, and this has led to many legitimate companies being viewed as evil. I’ve been scammed by multiple fake hackers, and I wish to reveal the real hacker who finally fulfilled my request and got my money back.
