A busy Sunday




For some time we have been wondering what we would do about a very large tree in the shady part of our garden, and after a lot of thought we decided that we could remove it branch by branch, so today we began. It is going to be a big job as we will deal with each branch as it comes down, kindling, firewood, and the remainder we will put through the chipper, and that will be returned to the garden, so no wastage here!


We dealt with three large branches today, and already thinking what I can plant where it was.


Have some rhodies that are not in the right position, so they can be shifted, will plant some daffodils around, also some small bulb like chinodoxis and perhaps some frittilarias, already have quite a lot of english snowdrops in that area. Thought wood anenomes might do well, and some trilliums.


I notice that the greengags and the oval yellow plums are starting to ripen, not too big a crop, as only their second year, but we will get a taste.
