May Storm

It was a beautiful morning, warm and sunny. By the time Dr Anne was ready for the garden there had been a thunder storm with a good shower of rain. The plants were sorely in need of this heavy shower. However, she decided it was the right time to feed and weed the grass. The lower green was given feed, weed and moss killer. The upper green was given green, feed and weed. Another shower of rain would now be very welcome.

Steven, Dr Anne's landscape gardener and mentor came to view East Neuk today. He was very impressed and complimented Dr Anne on her attempt at keeping the garden in order. They looked at ways to develop the garden. Last year the birds ate all the cherries and the red currants. It was decided to purchase an aluminium fruit cage and a fruit tree protector. Harrod Horticultural was the chosen company for purchase. Steven will erect the cages when they arrive. He will also prune the birch tree to prevent leaves falling into the neighbour's garden and the top of some of the shrubs in the shrubbery to keep them under control.

Later in the year the patio near the back door will be given an overhaul. Dr Anne will collect ideas at Chelsea next week.
