Gardening advice: Give the lawnmower a rest

He and his team are also bedding out 4,500 plants for summer, all of which will need water – either from pipes or the sky. “Imagine what it was like in the old days, when you just had a bucket on wheels,” he says. “It must have been quite a feat.”

Further south, the lack of rain has also been noted. Ursula Cholmeley, at Easton Walled Garden, in Lincolnshire, says that even at this early stage it is interesting to see that the long meadow grasses cope with the drought far better than the lawns, some of which have already started to turn brown.

“I think it works on the same principle as mulching,” she says. “The top growth provides cover, so the ground is less exposed to the sun and doesn’t dry out as much as it does on the lawns.”

It’s a problem she knows well: Easton is on thin, limy soil, which dries out quickly. But for the time being, she says, the rain between dry spells means the gardens have coped.
