It crossed my mind this morning that we are in August. September is the other month of the equinox (exactly half a year away from Shakespeare’s “Beware the Ides of March”). March and September are the months where the Earth tilts just more than halfway to or from the Sun. So September and March are the months where gales are most likely and trees are most at risk of being blown over.

The planting season is closing in. Generally hedging and trees are planted between the beginning of November and the end of March. The reason for this is that plants move better if they are disturbed when dormant – a bit like a small child asleep on a sofa being moved to a bed upstairs. In the morning it has no memory of the move – indeed it has little memory of where it fell asleep. This applies particularly to bare-root hedging plants and trees (plants that have been grown in open ground and are then lifted and have the soil shaken off their roots before being sold).
