The Garden

The Garden in 2019

Its the 2nd of February and the Garden is covered in a blanket of snow.  Despite that there are snowdrops and the signs of Spring bulbs coming through.

We have had the tree surgeons in again to remove some Hazel stumps and to given the Apple Tree a 'haircut' - hopefully we will benefit from a better crop this year but it may be 2020!

The pond is frozen solid.  No sign of frog spawn yet so hopefully it wont affect them.

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!
