...now you don't |
After all the unseasonably mild weather, the temperature plummeted and gales raged throughout the night. The garden looked like a battle scene with leaves, twigs and small branches all over the lawns and a major limb from the the oldest pear tree had crashed down across the Fernery path.

Safely stowed |

Strong and bitterly cold north winds and glacial temperatures made the clear up memorable!! Our first job was to remove the tree fern from the terrace and settle it safely in the greenhouse for winter. It's grown so much; getting to the greenhouse wasn't easy - in fact Chris couldn't be seen at all as he towed it along on a sack truck! Having arrived in the greenhouse, it was a very tight squeeze and next year, I think it will have to come out of its container and be planted in the woodland border. Yes, I know that would mean lots of winter protection would be needed but I reckon we should be able to manage it.
