Garden in a mess

[Lori]

Yep, same here.  Had a lovely walk in the parc.

It’s been another lovely sunny day here in Berkshire. I’ve been battling with brambles that have woven their way through a huge cornus during the winter.

It was lovely out there, sunshine, a clear blue sky, birds singing, primroses everywhere and a robin at my feet throwing leaf mould around while searching for food.

I’ve also noticed some changes in the general weather patterns, and that’s disturbing. I haven’t thought about moving South and about moving in general. It’s a disturbing sign that something’s wrong with the weather, and I don’t even know what we can do about it. Probably, we just have to learn to live in these new conditions.
I think I will not make the garden of my dreams in my backyard because it doesn’t make that much sense now. It’s starting to be cold too early, and I would rather build a small patio here. I’ve already looked up furniture for it: check it out. I think it will be a nice place to spend time even when it’s cold outside.

This winter has wrought havoc in the garden. Just had a good look round and cut back the grasses as it was the first day that temperatures were marginally above freezing.

 

 

At first sight it seems that the plant loss will be heavy,either in pots or in the beds as the ground has frozen badly. Not had a winter as bad as this since being here. Maybe it is the sign of things to come.

 

Winter has caused significant plant loss in pots and beds due to severe freezing. This season appears unusually harsh, possibly indicating future challenges for gardening.

Curse it.
