In the hardest frost ever last week I had 3 apple trees and 2 pear trees delivered.. typical!!! Was a bit worried about how I would manage to get them in the ground within the stipulated week from delivery. I was thinking of ways to manage this during a couple of days up north (was lovely to see everyone) and then the rain Gods.. (usually not my favourite) decided to lend a hand. Love them!!! So with the ground now unfrozen (but slightly soggy) and whilst Mr Waen went shopping (I think we have gender role issues) off I went to plant my new mini orchard... with the help of Winnie.. also a woman what is that all about!!
 |
| bit of fertilizer to help them along does this mean they wont be suitable for vegetarians any more???? |
 |
| tree roots soaking all tools gathered.. plus the assistant in the form of a filthy sheep dog and we are good to go. |
 |
| dig some holes |
 |
they have to apparently 3 times as wide and deep as the root ball! I think the first three were!!
|
 |
5 stakes in the ground and 5 little trees planted.. in 4 years time I will be fighting off the scrumpers!!! (I hope)
|
Now you may be wondering where the assistant got herself too! Well in a non helpful fashion she managed to find herself at the wrong side of the garden fence!
 |
| Errm. so can you help me back??? |
