19th November 2022 and we have only just been teased with the first frost of the year. Overnight it hovered around 1 °C. No blackening of leaves, not quite crystallised but nonetheless it was quite refreshing to see the grass and thatched roof turn a nice shade of icy blue before being warmed by shards of sunlight.
A good read, Thanks! In the Netherlands we had to deal with more ore less the same circumstances. Storms in Februari, fallen trees, heat in spring and summer and late flowering; especially the dahlias were very late this year. Nice to know you struggled too! Love to hear about the dead hedge. Thanks again.
I found this very interesting , how you fitted all of your planned work on the gardens , pond , hedges etc is amazing. Very sad to hear those beautiful trees didn’t make it . But they to are still on the land in a different form. I’m interested to know are those 100 trees or more on your land and adjoining farm or all on your land ? It must be a wonderful sight. Beautiful flowers , illustrations are stunning.
So lovely to read about your year in the garden. What a shame that you lost those beautiful trees in the winds, but great to hear that you managed to put the wood to good use. Our old mulberry tree came down during storm Eunice too (we’re hoping to make some fencing with the fallen wood).
Fingers crossed for more of those beautiful frosts over the coming weeks.
