Cherry Trees and Dinosaur Gardens Review Part 1

Here is my review of what was not the easiest of years in the garden.

January

The start of the year saw us replenishing the insect hotel and creating a scarecrow hospital for repairs and renewals. The toads came out too early and consequently died. And we had a huge delivery of chipped bark.

 

 

February


 I was doing a great deal of craft and I was making seed papers. I created the flying fairies. These fairies lost their wings. I had made them waterproof but they were not wind-proof. I have to think again for 2023.

March
 

In March I made literally hundreds of pompoms. The Owl Yurt went up and an old bird cage was purchased. The scarecrows came out for the season. The gardens were covered in red Saharan dust. And Buddy, the puppy came to the farm.


 

 April

We had a snowstorm which was a worry with all the fruit trees in blossom. We went to visit our excellent Christmas present ... a cherry tree in full blossom at Rentacherry in Northiam.

May
 

This was the main planting month. Little did we know what was ahead. We let the grass grow long and loved it. The path we allowed to go wild. Anne created a dinosaur garden and we were given a new garden seat.


 

June

In June the grass just got longer. The gunnera was doing well but died later in the season. We prepared the fairy trail.


 

And the weather just got hotter and hotter.
