It is heartbreaking to see the damage in the garden after three days with temperatures of 4o+ degrees. The back garden looks desolate, with plants and shrubs burnt and dying everywhere I look. It is not much consolation to know that we are not the only ones that are in this position, with gardens burnt beyond repair. Our back yard has been the most effected by the sun, with no tree cover at all to give shade and protection. The front yard fair better with large trees in the front to shade and protect a large part of the garden from the burning sun, the damage will not be as extensive but the hot weather is far from over. My fernery is still doing well the double layer of shade cloth seems to be enough to protect the ferns from the burning rays of the sun so far.
