HIGHER MORWELL GARDEN DIARY
28th July 2016
We’re rather surprised to see the two pear trees putting up new shoots, leaves and even blossom! Perhaps the deer munching the lower leaves have stirred up a second growth spurt. Deer are still coming in and we’ve decided to put barbed wire along the north Devon bank to keep them out, the wanton destruction is just too much.
The patio is finished, and the raised bed awaits sieved soil and some plants in addition to the yellow rose still as rescued from one of the beds where rabbits seemed to delight in stripping off the leaves. The slabs are laid on sand which I levelled, then found that the slabs aren’t all the same thickness. Another lesson.
