Garden Chat

Fine Music Radio — Good morning to you all. I know it is has been difficult getting out of bed these last few days but I always wonder how the birds seem to do it. The sunbirds, robins, thrushes are up long before the sun. They seem to herald in the day before the daily racket takes off. It’s a great time to think ahead and do a little bit of sensible garden planning. While we have the rain I thought maybe we should think further about tree planting which is becoming more and more important with regard to climate change, habitat destruction and of course shade. Although we live in a rich plant kingdom there is a limit as to what trees we can use when one considers wind, limited water and diverse soil properties.
