Re: Scorch?

A huge frog, or maybe it was a toad, hopped into my kitchen this morning & it looked very dry! I put him under the shelter of a big bush and poured cool water under there for him.

They can definitely be over-watered. When I went away for a week, I left plastic bottles of water with tiny holes in, in the Acer pots and it was just enough to keep them going until I got back. Mind you, it wasn't as hot then.

Are your Acers in pots Twink or in the ground?

I find the light green ones suffer the most.

I've had it badly burn one of my new 'Pinks' and it has scorched one of my Azaleas too.
Now I see it has burnt some bedding Verbena, along with some leaves on a young Peony too! Never had this happen before.

It's not because I am watering the leaves either, because I know that's asking for trouble.

Anyone else noticed any of theirs scorched this year?
A couple of plants have been scorched even though I've watered them

Re: Scorch?

My Purple Loosestrife didn't seem to be flowering for very long this year. It's a pond version so I made sure the roots were always wet but the flowers have faded really quickly. I suppose that must be down to scorch.

I'm almost ready to give up on my garden this year dongles.

I'm dreading my water bill as well!

What a shame Mups. I know you always put so much effort into it. Luckily, we are not on a meter here. Had some rain earlier but it barely filled a quarter of the water butt.

I would like another water butt fitted dongles, I must get a couple of prices as I've no idea what it should cost.
How long do you reckon one should take to fit roughly?
