Box and heat

Week three at Houghton Lodge and it has been very hot in the garden. I have been trimming Box hedging in the 'Peacock garden' and learnt how to cut Box spirals for the first time.

I have also been pruning Roses and Apple trees amongst many other jobs. Work is very varied and there is plenty of it to keep us busy! The Forget-Me-Not seeds that were sown at the start of my placement are peeking through under the mist unit and the plants I put out are still with us so I am pretty pleased with that! Despite the heat and dry soil.

I love tidying up the ground and making it look good, it really is satisfying when you step back and the garden looks good. More to come......
