Dry at Last

It has not only been dry it has been very hot. I managed to cut the big yew hedge at Milborne Port but the effort was soaked in sweat.There are loads of little box topiary features which are taking me an age to trim but they do look brilliant when they are done.I am amazed at just how quickly the muddy ground turns to hard dry soil and just how quickly the plants catch up. At Wincanton I have grown quite a few pumpkins which have sulked for weeks but now they are romping away and with a bit of decent weather should catch up very quickly.

The alpines that I managed to get for our garden are now beginning to grow and with a bit of time this weekend we will get planted.
