Today being the last of a spell of fine days, we’ve been out being strenuous in the garden. Martyn has cleared out the pond, and I’ve finished hacking down the cornus. The front looks a bit desolate in consequence, but it’s a necessary job if we’re to have winter colour again. I was pleased to find that one branch of the lime green cornus had layered quite well, so that’s potted up ready to go to its new home with one of my German conversation crowd.
At the back, the roses are responding well to my pretty ruthless pruning, and we’re happy to see that the cream hellebore has bounced back from similarly harsh treatment from gardener Ben. It’s nearly time to start cutting the grass again, but I’ll leave that until the next dry spell.
