    Ceanothus are grown everywhere here but they grow so quickly. It's the wet that spoils things for us.....it's not the cold that damages our silver greys, etc but the damp from the sea, etc .

    Water Conservation Gardening

    I'm not conserving water at the moment. It's about two weeks since we had rain. The soil is so dry that it's cracking up so the sprinkler has been on all day - moving it around the garden.
