The green and rolling countryside of Worcestershire, England, is home to the cider apple orchards which surround the gardens of Pear Tree Cottage. They enjoy a sunny south westerly aspect with sweeping views across to Martley Hillside, Woodbury and Abberley clock tower. The Teme Valley lies just over the hill and, not far away, is the Herefordshire border. Although our climate is temperate, our seasons are often uncertain and always a challenge to a gardener! This began in 2010 & follows the weekly ups and downs of garden work chronicling both successes and failures but, above all, demonstrates the fun enjoyed by three people who regularly garden in all weathers

Mowing Meadows

 

It's that time of year again!  Mowing the meadow grass is very much a one off seasonal job and Andrew certainly got on with it!!  In absolutely no time at all, it was cut and lugged off to the compost heap.  No hay this year as I knew rain was forecast and the chickens aren't short of nest box material. It always looks a tad dramatic but the long meadow grass and flowers will be back again next year.

Andrew in action!


In no time at all and despite the heatwave, another three hedges were all trimmed to perfection and the garden was left looking immaculate!
