What are we doing in the garden 2025

Oops! Forecast was for 3 degrees last night, so I took it at its word and didn't faff about with fleece. However, opening the curtains this morning, I see some frost on roof tops. Can't see any cars to look at windscreens, so maybe it was just a light air frost.

 

I hope your plants are OK @ViewAhead . We've had quite a heavy frost in Norfolk, sunny now.

We had an early appointment at the recycling centre. There was too much for the garden bin and there was the thick trunk of the buddleia tree that fell in storm Claudia. The bin will be emptied too today.

 

Thank you, @Busy-Lizzie. Went to move my bin for collection at 8 am and the lid was frozen shut. So, a heavier frost than I thought. Ah well, we will see.

 

Just put out 6 suet cakes for the birds.

 

This morning I went down to scout out an area to plant the Eremurus I received from Farmer Gracy yesterday. Had to cut back the asters in order to clear a space to work in. Dug the hole and put the root to soak. Then it started raining in earnest.

Have now taken advantage of a break in the rain to nip out and plant it. It's in a patch which must have been gravel at one time, and is now gravel mixed with soil. I added more horticultural grit as per the planting instructions.

Don't expect to manage anything else this weekend. The forecast is solid rain. Thinking of ordering another bare root fruit tree since I've got a space that needs filling.
