End of Month View: April is the Busiest Month
22.07.2023 - 19:35 / ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com
For the last two or three years I have kept a rough record of how many hours I spend gardening (excluding things relating specifically to our charity openings). It’s usually the afternoon before any gardening can be done, and a couple of hours a day is the figure I generally quote when someone suggests I must spend ages working in it to get keep on top of it, but of course this varies during the week and over the year as a whole. This year, in the three months prior to this one, I spent 31, 20 and 39½ hours gardening; in April it was 59 hours! In previous years, the number of hours worked in the months after April dropped back to 30 or 40 and then tailed off towards 20 hours or so in December, showing that April is indeed the busiest month.
Nature has been equally busy, and the most apparent change to the garden since last month’s EOMV photographs will be the development of healthy clumps of herbaceous perennials and the reclothing of trees and bushes with fresh foliage – we quickly forget the bare soil and naked trees when faced with the spring abundance. Rambling round the garden on the usual route, we have the paved area and sitooterie at the back of the house (above) and the streamside grass and shrub border from both directions below. The white flowered shrub to the right of centre below is Choisyia ‘White Dazzler’, which has the most divine fragrance.
Moving through the woodland, this has changed from the white of the snowdrops, to the pinky purple of fritillaries and Rhododendron ‘Cheers’ and now onto bluebells and white garlic. The wood anemones have flowered poorly this year, except in patches which have caught the sun. From the bothy at the end of the woodland, we look down on the main borders and then see them

Tomato Varieties: Sarah Raven picks some of the best
A cherry plum, sweet, thin-skinned and very prolific (you’ll also find it sold under ‘Red Grape Sugar Plum’). It was in the top three of our recent taste test and everyone liked it for its strong tomato flavour that’s sweet but not overly so, and its firm not mushy texture. It has a slight acidity running through it which all sweet tomatoes need. It ripens quite late compared to ‘Sungold’ and produces for a long period of time. It’s lovely in a mixed salad with the larger varieties.
