How do you deal with Dry Spells

There are always paid services, if you can swallow your pride :-)

This isn't just single blokes though...we all have spells where we can't seem to arrange a meet. A lot of girls lately are getting cold feet for one reason or another. They are either getting better offers (unbelievable I know!)img src="imagesadultemoticons008.gif" or they bottle it when it gets real. It does get annoying, but we keep at it because it is great fun when it comes off.

There are loads of opportunities for puns in the above...fill your boots.img src="imagesadultemoticons022.gif"

Normally for me in a dry spell, I place a lot of mulch around the base of the perennials to save the roots drying out, water the lawn late at night as it retains the moisture till the next day, and white wash the greenhouse Windows to stop the glare!

Oh crap! This should have been posted on the Gardner's question time site!img src="imagesadultemoticons026.gif" img src="imagesadultemoticons026.gif" img src="imagesadultemoticons026.gif"

ROFLOL...I read this i went to check out the nearest watering hole being a dry spell and all. Then silly me left my comment with a job offer for MYS on Friskys blog OOopps :-0

Sunshine, regardless of your boozy lunch blog faux pas, I would happily take up your offered position!

I'm extremely nimble and skilled with my hands. Firm yet gentle with my planting, and my 'dibber' is always ready for action.

I excel in patience and my loving and gentle nature can nuture any unruly plant into helpless submission.

I have learnt the finer points of skilled ploughing over the years, and know how deep, long and hard to go, when to slow down and when to speed up.

My propagation technique is unrivalled though I'm careful where and when I put my seed out.

Bush trimming is second nature to me and I keep a well mown lawn of my own.

Oh, ps. I'm also quite good at gardening too!

Ploughing needs to be all furrows in deep and foot to the floor to make sure everything turns over nicely, only slow down at the headland when you need to pull out and do a quick turn over. ..before dropping back in and off again

Ah my dearest doktor. Never put your foot down to the floor till your sure that the ground is moist enough to facilitate your dibber! I prefer the three to four method, three long deep strokes followed by a repeat pattern of four short but meaningful strokes. Turning over is good, I like to vary my position to enable different depths to be achieved. Satisfying sowing and no mistaking it!

Errr we are still talking about gardening right? img src="imagesadultemoticons026.gif"

Hmm well now what can i say.....(blushing)

MYS i imagine you will have my flower bursting into full bloom, it's lovely spray bring enjoyment as you encourage it's growth with you tried and tested skills , yep no mistaking if lol ;-)

Gardening? ? I was talking about a 5 furrow reversible and 150 horse power! Deep, hard, growling and an optimal amount of slippage...

I am having dry spells intellectually in comprehending many posts here. img src="imagesadultemoticons022.gif" img src="imagesadultemoticons026.gif" img src="imagesadultemoticons023.gif"

Yes Sensual. But its hard to fight the evolution. img src="imagesadultemoticons007.gif"

What's going on? Came to this blog for tips during a dry spell. Now I know more about gardening than Alan Titchmarsh

Pops round to tidy up Goodnights ladygarden...

Two choices with the lawn...either plough it and start again or a sprayer full of glyphosphate and a few tonnes of hardcore...

Inverse rain dance by the sounds of it...
