Four weeks ago, I decided to water my garden only very sporadically.
Now the authorities ask for that and in some places it is even already prohibited.
When I walk past the local riding facility and its jumping arena in the morning, the sand there is still moisturised every day with several sprinklers.
What a waste.
Even though it's certainly better for the horses' hooves.
I'm just trying to save the blackberries now.
Here is what used to be my lawn. The leaves are from a corkscrew hazel, that has decided to switch to emergency mode.
These should have been strawberries
Here are the raspberries we could no longer harvest.
Today > 35 °C, 37 °C predicted. Yesterday it was even warmer. And in the west of Germany up to 40 °C.
The last small amounts of rain fell here at the beginning of July. 90% probability of rain is dead wrong.
Edit: we ended up at 37°
