A garden-post
Apr. 9th, 2022 11:37 pm Although the weather has been kind the last few weeks, and it was really warm today, the garden is definitely feeling the impact of the storms still.
The apple trees aren't yet visibly budding at all. One of the three rowans is tentatively bursting into leaf, but the other two have just slightly swelling buds, in the manner of trees who have felt the icy blast and didn't enjoy it.
The thymes are doing well though. Thymes seems to enjoy icy blasts and lots of sun. I got some more thymes for my birthday!
Sadly, the sedum lawn, which was looking really quite good a month ago, has had scaffolders dump their poles all over it and trample on it twice now, and I'm not sure most of it is going to make it, which is a bit sad. I do hope it will be able to recover.
But on the plus side, we should soon have a house that is rainproof again, and the insurance will pay for almost all the cost of the roof. They jibbed a bit at the cost of repairing the water damage to the rooms underneath, and are sending another surveyor to look at it and see if it all really needs the work that our builder says it does. We hope he enjoys mould.
The ancient shed has now been removed, and that means I need to do yet more fencing to keep the Theo from bouncing out and about. It is a Work in Progress.
