Dry garden

This time last year, I had the frangi's in John's side garden beginning to flower and the first little grapes on Dirk's vine. It has been so dry lately, for months, that all the plants are a little behind I think. Although the crepe myrtles are budding and leafing now, which is great - a bit earlier than last year.

It was dry this time last year, too. We waited about 3 months for rain. 

Here is the garden in Sept 2017 - it has certainly come on since then.
