Yes the dullness has been oppressive as far as I'm concerned. It appears to have rained again in the night. Dark clouds and a bit of wind blowing. 7c.

any tips for rain and outdoor plants in containers ?
A bamboo cane cut into short lengths also works well, using three in a triangle or four in a square. Easily hidden and reused or replaced.
