After weeks of broken promises and crushed dreams, today, at long last, we have had some sensible rain. Not so hard that it runs off and ruins, not so light that it evaporates before even the most thirsty of roots can take advantage. It has been persistent heavy drizzle. Perfect.
Whether this has anything to do with the fact that yesterday OH went to the big city to buy new shorts and t-shirts, I cannot say.
Here is Lilium ‘Forever Susan’, prior to both the rain and next door’s space hopper landing in the middle of it.
Off The Edge Gardening 
Lucky you! My Susan’s have finished flowering although they are undamaged by any spacehoppers.

Of the wet type tho a little too light for my liking and now merely drizzle. Next decent rain forecast by HL for Tuesday.
Sorry, typo. Wednesday. 😊

Oh, Susan is bonny. Perhaps not so much after the spacehopper landed… Lucky you having rain, the stuff we have been having is nothing more than the lightest of drizzle and lasting all of five minutes at a time!

Hurray for rain! This fine lily offers much needed relief for Susans, more used to the black-eyed ones and even the lazy.

Oops! Was there anyone on the space hopper at the time? We’ve had lots of biblical rain so hoping that will keep everything happy up here for a while

No, luckily it was unmanned, or should that be unchilded? Glad you’ve had the rain too, I noticed lots of it heading your way.

We have lovely rain today too. Beautiful lily, do you have lily beetle as well as flying space hoppers?

Horrah! Yes, I spotted some red devils earlier this year (squish) but nothing too desperate yet. Maybe next year will be different.
