We haven't had rain for nearly a week. [I re
read the weather thread and it was on the 3rd, overnight

]. The hose pipe doesn't reach those plants and some need rain water only. Hence the watering cans.
Bitch in heat - we used to drive ours away from the village to fields miles from anywhere. She would pee at every foot fall, like "I'm here, come and get me"

. There are a few days when they will mate - you'll know when the local dogs arrive ;-).
