And then it was back to our Wednesday routine to check everything had survived its Xmas holiday. We knew the weather had been terrible so the plants should not have dried out too much and, sure enough, everything seemed to be thriving. Some more than most of course, mainly the blackberries, which now had some ripe fruit....
... and fennel, which was now taller than Dave and had very tough stems.
But we had a new blade for the trimmer and it was put to good use.
One mystery was the completely empty pond - and the culprit was soon found - a dead hedgehog in the bottom which must have fallen in and made an almighty effort to escape. It had succeeded in ripping the plastic liner in a gazillion places. Hopefully nothing that some sticking tape cant fix - we shall see!
