The Garden

The Garden in 2018

I can't believe it's July and I am just getting around to updating the blog!!  However, with the weather in the UK at the minute there is not much happening in the garden so it seems like a good time to do it.  We have had a VERY wet Spring and a VERY hot summer - the temperatures are in the high 20 Deg Centigrade and predicted to be 33 Deg Centigrade on 26th July (tomorrow).

So Let's go back to Spring and photos from May:
















Then moving on to June:
















Of course we also need to introduce the Courtyard - note the addition of the Log Store -an early Spring project!





Moving on to July when the heat starts to take it's toll - we water the vegetables and the baskets but nothing else.  Also using the water from an underground cistern and water butts whenever there is any rain.

Lets start with the Courtyard:













Finishing off 2018 with November pictures and the start of re-modelling the big bed under the Apple Tree.  More on the re-modelling ext Spring:













Last picture from 2018 - frost has arrived!
