Weather updated

Homebird

As we now know that the fix may take a while, I am starting a new weather thread, as I am getting frustrated with notifications regarding the weather that I can't read.

I am looking forward to tomorrow as we are due to get sunshine. I have plans to get out in my garden where colour is beginning to show.

  • We had a storm last night, so anything not tied down blew about.

    Now it's  warm, wet and windy

    I did get out in the garden yesterday and cut my budliea right back and added it to the dead hedge, but I need the ground to dry out so as I can get out there properly. I;ve no idea when we'll see the sun again.

    That's a good idea! I often have far too many cuttings for the green bin during Spring and didn't know what to do other than piling up the rest. I could start a dead hedge behind my greenhouse, where there is just ivy. Do you need to dig some into the ground for the first layer? Or use canes?

    Any woody bits and bobs, like budliea branches can just be stacked, I've used canes to contain it and stop it spilling out over the rest of the garden, but I just keep piling stuff on, it gradually rots down. All sorts of creatures overwinter or shelter in a dead hedge, I've certainly seen an increase in the biodiversity of my garden since I've had miine.
