Despite an early drought back in April, which occured soon after we planted this garden, we managed to keep all the plants growing, now as we enter another dry period most look to have become established and should not require additional watering (at this time). But like the whole area the plants are stressed.
We discouraged dogs from using the garden as a toilet by slightly fencing off the garden with some dead branches. The result has been a garden that is helping out local insects. We will be reducing the nettle population of the garden as so much of Gallows Hill has fine stocks of nettles
And we manage to get a morning together to tidy it up.
